PhD admission

Submitted by anishiitk on

Hi

I am pursuing Master of Technilogy at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (India) in mechanical department. Currently, I am working at dynamic buckling of thin walled circular cylindrical shell under uniform radial pressure.  I want to go for PhD, if anywhere , anyone working at plate and shell theory and nonlinear dynamics and vibration and solid mechanics. Then please let me know. I will be thanksfull to you.

coating modeling

Submitted by behzad15922 on

Dr.CW Wu

I am working on my M.s.a thesis about Numerical simulation of fatigue strenght of resistance spot welding joints of coated thin.At first I need to model a  steel palte with three different coating on it and apply a thermal analysis to achive to residual stress distribution.I couldent find any journal or paper in this field and dont know  from where i should exactly start my simulation in ANSYS.can you help me? 

Thanks

Stress Distributions in Helical Compression Springs

Submitted by mcgrete on

Hello,

I have a multiple part question:

Backgroud to Q#1& Q#2  My interest is in the full stress distribution through the cross section of a helical coil compression spring, including the effects of curvature that are often cited by Wahl, but reported only for maximum stress at the surface.  The coil is simple - constant wire diameter, coil diameter, and pitch.  I have been unable to come across the solution for the full stress distribution (analytical), although there are endless references to Wahl's correction factor for the maximum stress.
