speckle pattern interferometry/stress measurment method

Submitted by navidtajik on

I’m working on optical method for displacement measurement. and this is interesting to know more about application and development of these methods like ESPI , SHEAROGRAPHY anf HOLOGRAPHY . for example i face with a company that climb their product can give displacement and so strain field in many material and many geometry even in 3-D shapes!!

Mechanics of in-surface buckling of one dimensional nanomaterials on elastomeric substrates

Submitted by Jianliang Xiao on
In this recently published paper on Nanotechnology, we studied the in-surface buckling mechanics of one dimensional nanomaterials on elastomeric substrates.  Simple analytical solutions are obtained for buckling wavelength and amplitude, which can be easily applied to the in-surface buckling of different nanomaterials, such as nanowires and nanotubes.  It is shown that in-surface buckling of nanomaterials has lower energy than out-of-surface buckling, which explains the experimental observance o

Analysis of beams with hole

Submitted by parisa on

Hi everybody,

Is there any limits for using of LEFM?  I have modelled a beam with a penetration.I have moved the holes vertically in the beam and obtained the stress intensities for each movements at the corners of the hole. Now the hole is closing the edge, stress intensities in mode I and II, suddenly change values (positive to negative and vice versa)  what does this mean ?... Does it mean that I should limit my movements?,,,,

Thank you,

Parisa, 

Mode Superposition Method

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

We know that in Dynamic Analysis , to solve the equations of the form:



[M]{D2 X} +[C]{D1X}+[K]{X} = {R} ---------------- EQ.1



Where [M], [C],[K] are square matrices of mass, damping and stiffness matrices respectively.



D is derivative wrt time, {X}, {R} are the column matrices of displacement, external load respectevily.



We
use either direct step by step integration method or mode superposition
method. Both of them have advantages one over the other. Say, I am

Effects of mismatch strain and substrate surface corrugation on morphology of supported monolayer graphene

Submitted by Rui Huang on

In a previous work, substrate-modulated morphology of graphene was analyzed using a numerical Monte Carlo method. Here we present an analytical approach that explicitly relates the van der Waals interaction energy to the surface corrugation and the interfacial properties. Moreover, the effect of mismatch strain is considered, which predicts a strain-induced instability under a compressive strain and reduced corrugation under a tensile strain.

ABAQUS

Submitted by anjudeepak on

Hi.

 I was trying to reproduce the work of Zhuang,Ellis and Yu to get a feel about ABAQUS before starting my actual work...i have already went through the geotech examples given in ABAQUS examples manual.

But i am not able to understand the analysis steps performed in this paper.

Could anyone please help me...

Fracture mechanics

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

Hi,

In have modelled a beam with a hole using LEFM and FEM, assuming a crack length, I was able to indicate the failure load of the beam with a hole. Now, I would like to find a diameter of the hole which I can claim that in this diameter, there is no effect of the hole on the total strength of the beam. Would you please give me an idea of what to do? Is there any thing that I can do withmy model to find out about this? Is there a lower band in LEFM to limit its using?

Thank you,

 

question about Gurson model

Submitted by Reza_Rastgar on

I have a question regarding Gurson model. If we have a cube with initial length of unit and initial porosity of 20 percent and compress it hydrostatically in order to have a huge volume change of cube, the void growth equation in Gurson model takes a negative rate and reduces the void volume fraction to zero first and further compressing leads to no further void volume fraction change (remains zero) and no more plastic straining. Now let's load the model in tensile hydrostatic state up to a stress free configuration; the void volume fraction of the model remains zero.
