 <title>Moment-Curvature Relation for Arches</title>
 <link>http://imechanica.org/node/2422#comment-6103</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Assuming that the beam is not loaded out of plane, the Moment-Curvature Relation for Arches may apply.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; It is based on &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;e&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;= (Lf / Li) - 1&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;s&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;= E&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;e &lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;= &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;M y / I).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;M = E I &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Dk&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt; / (1 + &lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot;&gt;k&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;i&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;y&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;M = Bending Moment about the neutral axis (non-negative)&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;E = Modulus of Elasticity&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;I = Moment of Inertia of the profile section about the neutral axis&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Dk&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;= Change in the Curvature (non-negative)&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;symbol&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;k&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;i &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;= Curvature of the Undeformed Arch (non-negative)&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;y = Perpendicular Distance from the centroidal axis (outward normal direction is positive)&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Please verify if this is correct.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>crack modeling</title>
 <link>http://imechanica.org/node/2307#comment-5874</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Hi
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I have just strated Abaqus learning,my thesis is about cracks in pipes I want to know which part of the mannual i should read it for modeling the cracks and analysisng it?actulaay ,i want to learn it as soon as possible,so would you please let me know what is the best way for this purpose?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Haha, everyone in our group is OK! Dali,xinmin and zhangshuo will graduate next year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Everyone is busy doing paper. American dishes are not fit for your taste, and welcome you
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
come back to pku if you have time. Haha! what is now your research topics? is it about mechanics?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Everything goes smooth since I came to the US. I have two classes, one of which is the Solid Mechanics ES240 in Harvard. That&amp;#39;s why I have to post such entries here. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.imechanica.org/modules/tinymce/includes/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Cool&quot; title=&quot;Cool&quot; /&gt; I like the life in Boston, and feel very happy about almost everything except the food. I miss the dining halls in PKU!!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
How about you and other guys in our group? Are you all right???&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;An electronic version of this book is &lt;a href=&quot;http://books.google.com/books?q=editions:05ODgV2Koo_1CC0LGWfTT7V&amp;amp;id=SmoSAAAAIAAJ&amp;amp;as_brr=0&quot;&gt;freely available at Google Book&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Due to copyright, only early editions are available.&amp;nbsp; The last edition, the fourth, published in 1927, is still under copyright protection, and does not have a full view at Google Book.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Hi,Lei Qiao! Very happy to meet you here!</title>
 <link>http://imechanica.org/node/2168#comment-5731</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;It is unthinkable that I can meet you in iMechanics! I often come to this forum,and it is
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
a good place to learn about mechanics. He he! You have&amp;nbsp;been to &amp;nbsp;M.I.T for&amp;nbsp;four months
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
How about you now? Best Regards for you!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;
It is great that you like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.engr.pitt.edu/mems/people/facstaff/slaughter_william.html&quot;&gt;Will Slaughter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s book.&amp;nbsp; He was a graduate student of Solid Mechanics at Harvard.&amp;nbsp; It might not be a coincidence that you find his appraoch pleasant.
