Complex interplay of nonlinear processes in dielectric elastomers.

Submitted by Jian ZHU on

A combination of experiment and theory shows that dielectric elastomers exhibit complex interplay of nonlinear processes. Membranes of a dielectric elastomer are prepared in various states of prestretches by using rigid clamps and mechanical forces.

thermal ratchetting with abaqus

Submitted by s_h on

i am working to thermal ratchetting preaaure vesseles and pipes

and I'm doing with the software abaqus(combined hardening model)

but i have problem:

i use 2 step in abaqus

1-general-static for pressure

2-coupled-temp displacement for thermal loading

but when in submit abaqus -i get this eror

combined hardening dont use couled temp-displacement?

what is my problem?????????????

Tensile stresses in an elastic body accelerated by an attractive body force

Submitted by Jayadeep U. B. on

Dear all,

Can someone suggest me literature where the problem "tensile stresses developed in an elastic body accelerated by an attractive body force" is discussed.  The situation is similar to finding the stresses developed in a celestial body falling into black hole (though my interest is in impact with adhesive forces).

The problem is about solving the inhomogeneous wave equation, where inhomogeneous part is due to the attractive force.  So any helpful hints in that direction will also be useful.

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials now accepts MATLAB figure files

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

You can enrich your online articles by providing supplementary MATLAB figure files with the .FIG file extension. These files will be visualized using an interactive viewer that allows readers to explore your figures within the context of the article. The FIG files can be uploaded in our online submission system, and will also be available for downloading from your online article on SciVerse ScienceDirect.
