Message from ICCE Chairman
I need to know the analytical solution for the stress field in an isotropic infinite plate with a circular inclusion, assuming linear elasticity. The plate has an applied tensile stress.
The solution for a hole in an infinite plate is very common (http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Elasticity/Plate_with_ho…). I need a similar solution in which the inclusion has some elasticity tensor C and the matrix some tensor C_0 with C=x*C_0, where x is a scalar.
Thanks!
Two PhD scholarships, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, are currently available in the Department of Geotechnical Engineering and Geosciences at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) (Barcelona, Spain). The PhD positions are associated to the Project “Progressive failure and the reactivation of big landslides: Analysis, prediction and risks (BIG RISK)” with Professor Eduardo Alonso and Professor Jordi Corominas as principal researchers.
Looking back at episodes of our lives, we reflect on how people meet and how such meetings change lives. Information technology, broadly interpreted as means of communication among people, is always part of these narratives. But central to such narratives are nearly always people themselves and the content of their communication, rather than the means of their communication.
Hi, everyone
I am a student. I am dealing with a failure problem of brittle spheres. These have a lot of flaws inside.I did some compression tests. Single spheres are crushed by a pair of parallel plates. I got the crush load distribution (in terms of critical contact force).
My question is:
is there a failure criterion/model which relates to load(critical contact force), Youngs moduli and Poisson ratios of shpere and plates, radius and friction coefficient?
I have a load-displacement curve for a compact tension specimen (side-notched small square plate), that has been plastically loaded in tension, to leave residual stress around the notch. I want to derive the stress-strain curve for the sample material from this load-displacement curve. Naturally the load-displacement curve is geometry dependent.
