Mechanics of Materials: Textbook Recommendation

Submitted by vicky.nguyen on

I will be teaching a sophomore level class  mechanics of materials class.  The class will cover mechanics of basic strength of materials (e.g. beams, pressure vessels), but I also want to teach basic elements of failure mechanics (fracture, fatigue, plasticity, and wear.)  I'm looking for a recommendation of an undergrad mechanics textbook that covers the fracture, fatigue, plasticity, and wear.  The students will have had a statics and mechanics class and their textbook already covers strength of materials.  Thanks.

Problems with cohesive zone. Does it make sence to use them here?

Hey I've got a beam and between two different materials i'm thinking to
put a cohesive zone with "weaker" material properties. Does it make
sense to use cohesive zone models?

 

My model is looking like this now. But I don't know what's wrong. It
seems taht the whole force/displacement is lost in the cohesive zone. 

If somebody can help that would be very nice

Hi all,

I exercised "Prob37: FSI analysis of a simplified turbine using a sliding mesh" ADINA tutorial. I got an error message and the program stopped solving.

The error message:

ERROR CODE ADF2075

"-R option cannot be used for adaptive-mesh or sliding mesh. You can use -m, -M options."

What are the -R,-m, -M options? How can i solve this problem?

hi i am ganesh

currently we are doing final year project about process modelling of turning operation in ansys lsdyna.we are facing difficulty in finding out the constants required for the johnson cook material model.chip formation and failure criteria is still a major problem.so i kindly request you to give suggestion and materials to solve this problem.
