Saint-Venant's Principe of the Problem of the Cylinder

Submitted by Jian-zhong Zhao on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 02:20

The problem of the
infinite axisymmetrical circular cylinder loaded by an equilibrium system of
forces on its near end is discussed and its formulation of Special
Saint-Venant's Principle is established. It is essential to develop
mathematical theories of Special Saint-Venant's Principle one by one if
Elasticity has to be constructed to be rational, logical，rigorous and secure mechanics.

The proof of
Saint-Venant's Principle for curved bars is discussed and the formulation of
Modified Saint-Venant's Principle of the problem is established. The study
shows that Saint-Venant's decay of stresses is valid only for the curved bars
which are “effectively infinite”. It is essential and significant to develop

quenching

hello everyone.

iam devarajan.k currently pursuring M.Tech in Engineering Design in Amrita University and doing projects on hot rolling of thick plates.For FEm simulation iam using ABAQUS software. After material rolled, i want to quench that material into water or some other material. i dont know how to do this in abaqus. please guide me if any one know this. please

With Regards

geometrically nonlinear

Submitted by sadeghbeigi on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 22:17

Hi,

I have a quastion about criteria for geometry nonlinear analysis.

I modeled a piezoelectric bimorph cantilever beam as the attached file linearly. I calculated the end free point of the beam displacement through this model.

A new post-doctoral position is open for conducting cross-disciplinary basic research in the theory of heterogeneous structural materials. Candidates are sought with strong background in statistics or statistical mechanics, probability theory, and mechanics. A Ph.D. in Mathematics, Physics, or Engineering might be appropriate.

Applying load on a Compact Tension specimen in Abaqus

Submitted by Chizyuka on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 09:41

education

Hi there,

I have been trying to model fracture toughness test in abaqus but unfortunately I am faced with difficulties of how to apply the tensile loading on the compact tension model's pin holes. Most papers I have come across show only pressure being applied on the flat upper most edge of the test specimen instead of the pin holes. Please could there be someone out there who could show me how to apply this tensile loading right on the holes?

Thanks in advance.
