Inertia relief in static analysis

Submitted by yogeshtv on

 Hello

 can anybody explain about "Inertia relief" and its practical significance?

Also i read from nastran mannual that it calculate rigid body acceleration , how do we get rigid body acceleration bcoz in inertia relief static analysis we fixed the all possible rigid body motion .

Please share the information on this

Thanks and Regards

Singular stress fields at corners in flip-chip packages

Submitted by Nanshu Lu on

An electronic device integrates diverse materials, and inevitably contains sharp features, such as interfaces and corners. When the device is subject to thermal and mechanical loads, the corners develop intense stress and are vulnerable sites to initiate failure. This paper analyzes stress fields at corners in flip-chip packages. The stress at a corner is a linear superposition of two modes of singular fields, with one mode being more singular than the other. The amplitudes of the two modes are represented by two stress intensity factors of dissimilar dimensions.

MRI-R2 has been posted

Submitted by Ken P. Chong on

The NSF Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI-R²) Recovery and Reinvestment is now posted. This is a good way to build up the needed major research instrumentation

The deadline for proposals will be August 10, 2009.

A link can be found through the page www.nsf.gov/od/oia/programs/mri (preferred to keep abreast of updates) or through the NSF-wide page at http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5260.

potential functional for material exhibts non-associative elastoplastic response

Submitted by WaiChing Sun on

Does anyone knows where I can find any paper discuss the existence of potential functinoal for materials that violate the maximum plastic dissipation principle (due to non-convex yield function and/or non-associately fluw rule)?

Flow Rate through a gas pipe

Submitted by BobbyBob on

Hi I'm trying to work out the following problem

The pressure at the start of a 180Km stainless steel natural gas pipeline is 4MPa and at the end is 2MPa.  If the diameter of the pipe is 0.4m, what will be the gas flow rate through the system? (ignore losses other than friction)

(for natural gas, density = 40 Kg/m3, viscosity = 11x10-6)

This is from an exam paper and at the end of the paper there's a moody diagram with roughness values, the closest to stainless steel is commercial steel and has a k value of 0.045 mm.
