multilayer material photoelasticity measurement

Submitted by sigmacoder on

Hi,

 

i'm in an internship, and i want to study the stress destribtuion with photoelasticity method, but my problem is that the material that i have is not homogenious but there ares two layers. I can do the measurement for the two material separated, but i dont know how to do that for my layared material.

 

 anyone have an idea about how to do photoelasticity measurement for multilayere materials ?

 

Thanks.

Exponential model W (strain energy density function)- Zero stress zero strain condition

Submitted by maverick_269 on

 

Hi,

I am new here and have a very basic question on the Strain Energy Density (SED) function of exponential model.

 This is the exponential model SED form : W=a(e(b(I1-3))-1)

Now we have certain postulates such as that

1.W=0 when there is no deformation and

2. stress=0 when strain =0.

 When there is no deformation I1=3 and hence W=0, which is correct.

B.C for 3D simply supported beam in ansys with SOLID95 element

Submitted by vn.nguyen on

Hi,

I am modeling a 3D simply supported beam in ansys using a SOLID95
element. In this case, how should I give
the B.C.s? Should I apply B.C.s to

1) the mid nodes on the edge of beam? or

2) to the entire edge? or

3)  just to the bottom nodes?

according to me, I have tried to use the various B.C case, but the
results are very different even though the nodes number taken in account
change slightly, and for all case, the result is not satisfactory with
my analytical solution. plz help.

 Thanks in avance!
