An improved semi-analytical solution for stress at round-tip notches

Submitted by Dr. Hanaor - D… on

Highlights

 

A semi-analytical model is developed for the notch tip maximum stress.

Application of the formula to U and blunt V-notches is demonstrated.

The results can be used to assess the brittle failure of notched components.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of a Polymer-Metal Interface in LAMMPS

Submitted by Nuwan Dewapriya on

We are currently investigating the impact resistance of multilayers using molecular dynamics. This project showed us that modeling material interfaces could be challenging even for someone with a background in atomic simulations. Therefore, we thought of sharing some useful information and the LAMMPS input files to model the aluminum-polyurethane interface (shown above). Please see here: https://github.com/nuwan-d/polymer_metal_interface

1d finite element beam modelling for pipe

Submitted by suresh kumar IITKGP on
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

HI , the query is related to FE modelling of 1d Euler bernouli beam for pipe

If a pipe is modeled as a beam ,how can we input or account for the internal pressure of pipe. 

What is the quantity and the direction of nodal loads

Should a load = Pressure x Pipe sec Area be applied to all nodes??

Thank You.
