Amplified effect of mild plastic anisotropy on residual stress and strain anisotropy
A few of you might find this interesting. We indented a disk of aluminum in order to make a specimen with residual stress. The loading was axisymmetric. The aluminum had plastic anisotropy of about 10%. Because of that mild anisotropy, the residual stresses were anisotropic by about 40% and the residual strains were anisotropic by 100%.
The paper is free until July 31 at https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1VCA54kE0BEFT
Scientists report solving one of the oldest problems in mechanics
Being able to accurately predict the life span of physical bodies, both living and non-living, has been one of humankind’s eternal endeavors. Over the last 150 years, many attempts were made to unify the field of Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics, in order to create a generalized and consistent theory of evolution of life-span.

Discussion of fracture paper #16 - What is wrong with pure mode I and II? A lot it seems.
It is common practice when solving boundary value problems to split the solution into a symmetric and an antisymmetric part to temporarily reduce the number of variables and the mathematical administration. As soon as the symmetric problem is solved, the antisymmetric problem, or vice versa, is almost solving itself. Any problem can be split into a symmetric and an antisymmetric part which is a relief for anyone who analyses mixed cases.
