The line spring finite element is a versatile numerical tool for performing engineering fracture mechanics analysis of surface cracked shells. An accurate yield surface of plane strain single-cracked (SEC) specimens having shallow, as well as deep, cracks is presented here. The meaning of the J-integral when crack growth occurs is discussed. The J-integral is regarded as a sort of accumulated measure...
The considered experimental data of polarization-optical study of wall turbulence of polymer solutions reducing turbulent friction give a convincing confirmation of a strong deformation effect of a hydrodynamic field on macromolecules under wall turbulence. The obtained results support the idea that the mechanism of drag reduction is uniquely related to the process of complete unrolling of macromolecules...
A free vibration analysis of isotropic plates is investigated in this paper. A sixteen node sub-parametric element having thirty-six degrees of freedom is developed for this purpose. The transverse displacement and bending rotations are taken as independent field variables. The polynomials used to express these variables are of the same order. The entire formulation is made based on the first-order...
In this paper, a generalized FE formulation for buckling analysis of nonprismatic columns with various cross-sections is established by using the Chebyshev polynomial approach to the governing differential equation. The proposed formulation includes the effects of shear deformation and is therefore applicable to solid or built-up columns. The change of the sectional properties along the length direction,...
The stress-strain relationship of the deep drawing quality (DDQ) and intersitial free (IF) steel sheets was determined by uniaxial and equibiaxial (hydraulic bulging) tensile tests. The sheet thickness gradation in different points of the hemisphere formed in the bulge test was analysed, both experimentally and theoretically. The Hollomon equation was used to describe uniaxial and biaxial strain hardening...
The subject of this paper is an isotropic porous beam with a rectangular cross section. Mechanical properties of the isotropic porous material vary across the depth of the beam. A nonlinear hypothesis of deformation of a plane cross section of this beam is described. The system of differential equations and boundary conditions of the problem is derived on the basis of the principle of minimum potential...
This paper presents recent works on temperature effects in hydrodynamic journal bearings. This is an over-view of several specific thermal problems encountered particularly in fixed geometry and tilting-pad journal bearings. The temperature-viscosity variation, the heat transfer, the change in bearing clearance, the thermal and mechanical deformations, the flow regime, the transient regime, the risk...
This work determines the location of the greatest elastic distress in spherical and cylindrical Hertzian contacts based upon the distortion energy and the maximum shear stress theories. The ratios between the maximum pressure, the von Mises stress, and the maximum shear stress are determined and fitted by empirical formulations for a wide range of the Poisson ratio, which represents material compressibility...
This article is about non-contact optical measurement of welding-induced distortions. It is an attempt to solve the problem of the welding process and measurement of deformations after welding line. The major task is the measurement of deformations after welding process with the TRITOP system and their evaluation.
The purpose of this paper is to study the two dimensional deformation due to an internal heat source in a thermoelastic microelongated solid. A mechanical force is applied along an overlaying elastic layer of thickness h. The normal mode analysis has been applied to obtain the exact expressions for the displacement component, force stress, temperature distribution and microelongation. The effect of...
Two elastic plate problems made of duralumin are solved analytically using the displacement potential approach for the case of plane strain and plane stress conditions. Firstly, a one end fixed plate is considered in which the rest of the edges are stiffened and a uniform load is applied to the opposite end of the fixed end. Secondly, a plate is considered in which all of the edges are stiffened and...
The present study is based on the nonlinear bending analysis of an FGM plate with Von-Karman strain based on the non-linear classical plate theory (NLCPT) with in-plane displacement and moderate rotation. Non-linear bending analysis based on stresses and transverse deflections is then carried out for the plate for the complex solution obtained using an analytical method viz. Navier’s method. The equations...
This study introduces a new definition of the strain-concentration factor (SNCF) of thick walled internally pressurized cylinders. The stress state has been considered in this new definition; i.e. triaxial and biaxial stress states for closed and open ends, respectively. Primarily, the curvature effect of the strain concentration has been studied here. To this end, the inner radius of the employed...
The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the stress field near a crack tip for a compact specimen dominated by the plane strain state using the finite element method. The analysis also includes the calculation of some parameters of in-plane constraints, both for small and large strain assumptions. It discusses the influence of the material characteristic, relative crack length and external load...
The problem of gap estimation for a break of a continuous welded rail is studied. The track is represented as a semi-infinite rod on elastic-based damping. Static and dynamic solutions are obtained. It is shown that during the rail break, the dynamic factor does not exceed 1.5. We derive equations for thermal deformation of the welded rail of jointless track on an elastic foundation in the presence...
Pathological conditions of a male urethra, including fibrosis, have a mechanical background along the entire length of the urethra. They may be caused by excessive deformation of the urethra locally or globally. The condition of prolonged overload causes abnormal tissue remodelling and, consequently, the formation of a thick layer of scar tissue differentiated from the connective tissue of the urethra...
A high specific stiffness, high specific strength, and tailoring the properties for specific application hale attracted the attention of the researchers to work in the field of laminated composites and Sandwich structures. Rapid use of these laminated composites and Sandwich structures necessitated the development of new theories that suitable for the bending, buckling and vibration analysis. Many...
In this paper, a methodology is presented for determining the stress and strain in structural concrete sections, also, for estimating the ultimate combination of axial forces and bending moments that produce failure. The structural concrete member may have a cross-section with an arbitrary configuration, the concrete region may consist of a set of subregions having different characteristics (i.e.,...
The functionally graded plates (FGP) with two new porosity distributions are examined in this paper. In this work the plate is modeled using the higher-order shear deformation plate principle. The shear correction variables are neglected. To evaluate the equations of motion, the Hamilton method will be used herein. Therefore, the free vibration analysis of FG plate is developed in this work. For porous...
In the present paper, an analytical solution for the static deformation of a two dimensional model consisting of an infinite homogeneous isotropic elastic layer of uniform thickness placed over an irregular isotropic elastic half-space due to movement of a long tensile fault has been obtained. The rectangular shaped irregularity is assumed to be present in the lower half-space and assuming that the...
