More information about residual stress tester
The residual stress in a metal do not depend on its hardness, but from the module of elasticity or Young module and from its chemical composition (density).
Hi. I'm now starting my PhD on a project on sintering of hard metal.
I'm doing a literature study, but I have failed to find any articles that uses FE analysis on the micro/mesoscale. All of them seems to handle this only with a homogenized model on the macroscale.
If I get to be picky, I would prefer something with hardmetal, but at this point, anything would be great.
I would also be very happy to find any suitable reading on FE-analysis on solid-liquid-pore mixtures.
A new section has been added to the website on failure criteria for engineering materials. This new work displays many different three-dimensional computer graphics of failure criteria surfaces in stress space. The full range of isotropic materials are covered from ductile metals to brittle ceramics and glasses and beyond. All of these computer generated graphics can be seen at www.failurecriteria.com/failuresurfacegr.html.

They join an assembly that was founded in 1780 by John Adams, James Bowdoin, John Hancock, and other scholars to provide practical solutions to pressing issues.
I want to know about the basics of stroh fromulation and its application in Piezoelectric material.I didn't find the basic lecture notes or the material regarding that on the internet.

Hi,
I've been reading the book on Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis by Crisfield and have the following questions:
1.Considring the equation 1.10 in Crisfield's book on page 4, it is:
Kt = EA/l (z/l)^2 + EA/l (2zw + w^2/ L^2) + N/L
where:
Kt->is the tangent stiffness matrix
z->in itial displacement
L->Length of the bar-as an approximation the undeformed length of the bar is considered.
N->internal force in the bar.
Ideally, this post of mine should carry a poll, but I guess as an ordinary user, I cannot insert one.
Currently, I am writing a small software program that is especially designed to help learn FEM. For instance, I will be providing detailed listings for every intermediate step, e.g. all those [D], [B], [k], etc. matrices for each element, as well as the final assembled global system {F} = [K]{d} and its solution separately at each Gauss point. Only linear static problems for the time being; will add transients/eigenvalue problems in near future.
Hi ,
Due to Thermal ratcheting in cylindrical pipes carrying hot fluids that are used in nuclear applications, the pipe bulges. I am about to start a project to study why this bulge comes and how to rectify it. It would be very helpful to me if some of you can give your valuable suggestions and references in the area of Thermal Ratcheting in pipes.
Thanks and Regards,
Rohith
Myocardial fiber orientation is a topic that has recently received much attention in connection with cardiac pumping function. The twisting motion of the cardiac base to apex can be a direct result of this geometric orientation of these fibers. One important question that has not been addressed yet is whether there is any relationship between the contractile energy expenditure and the geometric orientation of myocardial fibers. In the present work, we study the effect of contractile fiber orientation on pumping function.
