Hi Everyone,

 I would like to measure the residual stress imposed pattern through thickness of the plate by forming process (bending). Is it possible?

 I came to know that residual stress measurement through HOLE DRILLING METHOD offers only on the surface. That too, applicable only when residual stress imposed is uniform through thickness (like shot blasting process). If any one came across the experience of residual stress measurement, please throw some light in this regard.

 Thanks in advance

Hello All//

I am always confuing on that Stress is a point Function..and not Seen Physically Than Stress is a material Property or Material Behaviour?

Waiting For Answer..

Thanks..

Here is an interesting link I came across while searching for the Feynman lectures -- Project Tuva.

http://research.microsoft.com/apps/tools/tuva/

It provides each of Prof. Feynman's seven lectures delivered at Cornell as a part of the Messenger lecture series. This format of posting lectures by Microsoft is absolutely amazing. I hope more such lectures especially videos of keynote lectures in leading conferences and congresses can be made available online.

I have to analyse the carbon/epoxy composite laminate in ANSYS,  to determine the natural frequency of rectangular composite plates. The plate is simply supported . I  am not able to model the composite lay up with the correct orientation of the fibre. so any body have the step by step procedure for modelling the composite lay up in ANSYS and how to determine natural frequencies  please give it to me on my e-mail:  sharma_avadesh [at] yahoo.com

I am confused about the use of two-point tensors in elasticity. The deformation tensor F and first PK tensor are two point tensors, and the "two-point" property arises from use of two different Coordinate System When a continuum body is deformed, why it is necessary to move the Coordinate System as well? (or alternatively, why the coordinate system is attached to the body itself??, isn't it possible to use a general coordinate system which can represent the deformations and also account for the rigid body rotations of the continuum body?).
