Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

Caltech has made the Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol I, freely accessible online.  The quality of the HTML file is exceptionally high.  Take a look at the preface to learn how this electronic version was produced.

large deformation of beam element

Submitted by mjalilych1 on

hello

my name is mohamad. I am phd student in mechanical engineering. I want to use of total lagrangian formulation for analysis of a cantilever. my difficulty is on implementation of newton raphson method and incrementing load. my code does not converge. can you help me. if there is a simple code I was wondering if someone aware me.

thanks in advance.

Nonlinear elastic inclusions in isotropic solids

Submitted by arash_yavari on

We introduce a geometric framework to calculate the residual stress fields and deformations of nonlinear solids with inclusions and eigenstrains. Inclusions are regions in a body with different reference configurations from the body itself and can be described by distributed eigenstrains. Geometrically, the eigenstrains define a Riemannian 3-manifold in which the body is stress-free by construction. The problem of residual stress calculation is then reduced to finding a mapping from the Riemannian material manifold to the ambient Euclidean space.
