Strain Based Fracture Mechanics

Submitted by Sean Angus on

Hi!

I`m new to this webpage, and hope for some good answers for use in my masters degree within fatigue. Currently I`m working on calculating the total life of a gusset specimen using strain based fracture mecahnics. I`ve read som articles on the topic, but have some difficulties on understanding the calculations itself. I`m using Excel in the calculations. If anyone has an excel-sheet, or other ways of helping me, I would hihgly appreciate it.

Thanks, Sean Angus

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)?
