Resonance frequency of cantilever

Submitted by Somashekara Bhat on

Resonance frequency of a cantilever beam is given by

f=(kn/2pi)*sqrt(EI/mL4)

where, kn=3.52 for cantilever, E is Young's Modulus, I is moment of Inertia, m is mass, L is beam length.

The equation is available in Raymond J. Roark and Warren C. Young, “Formulas for Stress and Strain”, McGraw-Hill, Kogakusha, 5th Edition, (1976).

Can any one help me in deriving this. Or any books or websites which deal with this equation.

Large elastic strain - limits of Green strain

Submitted by Peter Hartley on

I am looking at problems of large deformation and large elastic strain in biological materials, using an analytical model that determines the current deformed state in a single step from the original undeformed state. The approach is to propose a strain energy function to allow the calculation of Piola-Kirchhoff 2 stresses which may then be converted to true Cauchy stresses via the usual mapping. Since I initially calculate PK2 stresses, the strain energy function must be a function of Green strain.

Compare job result in one diagram in abaqus\Explicit

Submitted by m_meisam on

Hi there!

how can I see the results of some jobs in one diagram when we wanna compare them to gather in Abaqus\Explicit?

I see that in the abaqus user manual it draws the results of two jobs in one diagram and compare them togather easily! So it must e possible!

And also I'm looking for the plastic properties of concrete to modeling its behavior in abaqus!

I'm waiting for your help and proposal!

thanks guys!

Meisam

Journal Club November 2007: Surface Effects on Nanomaterials

Submitted by Harold S. Park on

Nanoscale materials, including thin films, quantum dots, nanowires, nanobelts, etc – are all structurally unique because they have a relatively high ratio of surface area to volume ratio.  This increase in surface area to volume ratio is important for nanomaterials because wide and unexpected variations in mechanical and other physical properties, such as thermal, electrical and optical, have been found to scale in some proportion to increase in surface area to volume ratio.
