How to get residual stress, Given HV--True Strain Curve and HV--Position from the surface Curve?
Hi, Everyone,
I have done an experiment, and got the HV(microhardness)--True strain curve, and the Cuver of HV(microhardness)--Position from the sample surface.
Now I want to know how to compute Residual stress? according to the the upper information.
It would be very kind of you to give any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Databa
Postdoctoral Research Associate: Nanomechanical Characterization and Modeling
A one-year Postdoctoral Research Associate position is immediately available for research on nanomechanical characterization and modeling of nanomaterials and biomaterials.
Qualifications:
Not converged for modelling crack propagation
Hello! I am modelling crack propagation in concrete specimen under direct tension by using cohesive element in ABAQUS as the interface where crack will propagate. By setting up the proper values of the parameters, I could model the exact behavior prior to the cracking, however, when changing some parameters to get the interface cracked, the model committed to be diversed. I have tried some little skills like viscosity and energy disspation fraction, but it was still not working.

Miniature disk bend testing
Hello everybody
Thanks for your loads of response and I am glad that you have given such valuable data regarding MDBT.
M ostly I need some more data reagarding MDBT and its fixture design.What should be the exact design procedure to perform this test and what should be the exact circumstances and precautions need to be taken are the concerned area where I need your help.
Its hearty request to help me sort out my problem and let me help in this regard.
Immediate Vacancy Exists in Computational Nanomechanics
An Immediate vacancy exists for high calibre postdoctoral fellows with interest in multiscale computational nanomechanics, nano-modified composites, testing and validation. Specifically, we are interested in determining the influence of nanofillers on polymer composites. Candidates should expect excellent facilities, good salaries and exceptional working conditions.
