About plastic anisotropy and thermomechanical coupling

Submitted by D.Rittel on

A point that has been overlooked is whether plastic anisotropy affects the thermomechanical coupling, expressed via the Taylor Quinney coefficient.
In a paper to appear in IJ. Eng. Sc., Gleb Gil Goviazin and I address this issue experimentally. The abstract follows:
An nteresting point that G. Goviazin and I report about in a paper to appear in Int. J. Eng. Science.

 

 

About resonant frequency and dental implants

Submitted by D.Rittel on

We have analyzed the so-called Resonant Frequency Analysis, a method used to assess the stability of dental implants. In spite of its widespread use, there is only a handful of engineering analyses that define the limits of applicability and the sensitivity of the method. So, here is another example of what I call "Denta; Engineering".

Static and dynamic mechanical properties of wire and arc additively manufactured SS316L and ER70S6,

Submitted by D.Rittel on

In a new paper, we report our observations of the mechanical response (quasi-static and dynamic) of woire arc additively manufactured steels. An interesting alternative to the "conventional" powder based 3D printing. The paper is temporarily available on:

Quasi-static modelling of methyl cellulose hydrogels

Submitted by D.Rittel on

MC gels are quite common in our life, from medicine through food additives. We have recently worked on their capability to mitigate strong shocks, but now we are concentrating on quasi-static behavior. This new paper examines and summarizes our findings on what we believe is the simplest yet accurate way to model them. Please note that the downloading period is limited.
