The analytical solution for a stress field in an infinite plate with a circular inclusion due to an applied tensile stress
Forums

I need to know the analytical solution for the stress field in an isotropic infinite plate with a circular inclusion, assuming linear elasticity. The plate has an applied tensile stress.
The solution for a hole in an infinite plate is very common (http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Elasticity/Plate_with_ho…). I need a similar solution in which the inclusion has some elasticity tensor C and the matrix some tensor C_0 with C=x*C_0, where x is a scalar.
Thanks!
2 PhD scholarships in geotechnical engineering at UPC, Barcelona
Two PhD scholarships, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, are currently available in the Department of Geotechnical Engineering and Geosciences at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) (Barcelona, Spain). The PhD positions are associated to the Project “Progressive failure and the reactivation of big landslides: Analysis, prediction and risks (BIG RISK)” with Professor Eduardo Alonso and Professor Jordi Corominas as principal researchers.

Memories of IT. Part 2
Looking back at episodes of our lives, we reflect on how people meet and how such meetings change lives. Information technology, broadly interpreted as means of communication among people, is always part of these narratives. But central to such narratives are nearly always people themselves and the content of their communication, rather than the means of their communication.
Is there a failure criterion/model for brittle spheres?
Hi, everyone
I am a student. I am dealing with a failure problem of brittle spheres. These have a lot of flaws inside.I did some compression tests. Single spheres are crushed by a pair of parallel plates. I got the crush load distribution (in terms of critical contact force).
My question is:
is there a failure criterion/model which relates to load(critical contact force), Youngs moduli and Poisson ratios of shpere and plates, radius and friction coefficient?
Inverse problem: Stress-strain curve from load-displacement curve of CT specimen
Forums
I have a load-displacement curve for a compact tension specimen (side-notched small square plate), that has been plastically loaded in tension, to leave residual stress around the notch. I want to derive the stress-strain curve for the sample material from this load-displacement curve. Naturally the load-displacement curve is geometry dependent.
Coupling Abaqus with an aeroedynamic BEM code to compute aeroelastic respons
For my graduation work (student at the Delft university of Technology, The Netherlands), I am trying to model the aeroelastic behavior of a wind turbine rotor. For this end I use an Abaqus model of a wind turbine blade (which is a composite structure with different fiber layers and corresponding orientation). The aerodynamic force is calculated by a BEM code (Blade Element Momentum theory), which is a simplified engineering aerodynamic code: fast but still quite good. Using CFD to calculate the loads is out of the question since it requires far too much time to calculate.
Domain control in ferroelectric nanodots through surface charges
The ability to control the domain patterns in ferroelectric nanostructures holds promise as a method to tailor physical properties for specific applications. We proposed a new way to control the domain patterns in ferroelectric nanostructures. Desirable domain patterns can be obtained through different surface charges. The surface charges can be supplied by the atomic and molecular adsorbates on the surfaces of ferroelectric nanostructures.
