Hi this is Tim, final year undergraduate student .can anyone tell me why we need time integration for plasticity (hardening).As i am undergraduate student my knowledge is very limited so could you please let me know from basics. Also what does explicit and implict integration mean in the application of plasticity?
THanks in advance,
Tim
The Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal, intents to contract 2 researchers (postdoctoral) to work in the group of Structural Integrity. The main topics of this group are:
- Development of advanced composites
- Product development
- Fracture and fatigue behaviour of components
- Development of structural wood components
- New numerical techniques to analyze solids and structures
- Biomechanical behaviour of soft tissues
See http://www.hallf.kth.se/NYAJOBB/nyajobb_en.html
The position is at the Department of Solid Mechanics, KTH . The theme of the graduate student project is "Crack growth in rubber and rubber like materials".
This is my final project.
The paper titled "The Study by Mr. Wu etc Concerning Saint-Venant’s Principle is Insignificant" reviewed the series of four works of “proof of Saint-Venant’s Principle” published by Wu etc .The four articles proved neither the discrete Saint-Venant type decay of section-forces of the finite elements in the chain model of discretization of the cylinder nor the discrete Saint-Venant-type decay of section-displacements, posed in their papers. Furthermore, the discrete Saint-Venant type decay of section-forces is not provable.
Here is the powerpoint of the final project, presented by Stevie Steiner and myself.
