Can buckling and instability of a structure be affected by Eshelby forces?  

We provide a positive answer to this question, see http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni/blade.html


 

Residual stresses in elastic medium upon uniform cooling

Submitted by dhananj on

Hi All,

I am a student working on a project involving the effect of residual stresses in elastic and viscoealstic materials. I have a related question: When an easltic body is heated to a certain temperature (say 400 deg C) and then cooled uniformly to room temperature (20 deg C) with a constant cooling rate "q", does this generate any "un-desirable" (residual) stresses within the elastic body? i.e at a steady state - room temperature, does the final stress state within the body would be non-zero? Else, it would eventually reach a state of zero stresses? How?

Analysis problem on ansys 14.5

Submitted by Nagarjun Singh on

I am a student using ansys for solve problems but i have a problem "how to find at which force value the component will be fail". A ball has to pass through a cone and i am intrested to know that force value at which boll will be pass through cone nerrow section while boll diameter is large than small dia of cone.

 

Plz help me anyone ansys masters

Thanks dear frnd & sir...

Elasticity of rubber-like materials

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

In the notes on the general theory of finite deformation, we have left the free energy function unspecified. The notes here describe free energy function commonly used to describe the elasticity of rubber-like materials.  These notes are part of a course on advanced elasticity
