Analaytical Model

Submitted by psubbu2000 on

Hi all,

      If an analytical model predicts accurately all stresses, including transverse normal stress across thickness, using constitutive law for the analysis of laminated composite structures, what is the use of this model and where can  I apply this model in composite structures and fracture mechanics?. Further this model is amenable to linear/nonlinear finite elements with less degrees of freedom per node (C0 and C1 finite elements are possible).

Mechanics of Materials by F.P. Beer, E.R. Russell Johnston Jr. and J.T. DeWolf

Submitted by Pawel Zimoch on

Mechanics of Materials is the book I used for my undergraduate course in strength of materials and it helped me understand the basics, and hence my selection. 

The outline is as follows:

Ch. 1: Introduction -  concepts of stress

Ch. 2: Stress and strain - axial loading

Ch. 3: Torsion

Ch. 4: Pure bending

Ch. 5: Analysis and design of beams for bending

Ch. 6: Shearing stresses in beams and thin-walled members

Ch. 7: Transformations of stress and strain

Solids Textbooks

Submitted by John M. Kolinski on

      The texts from Timoshenko and Landau and Lifschitz are classics. I think learning the physical approach of L&L is particularly valuable. The following sections are available in L&L:

 1. Fundamental Equations

 2. Equilibrium of Rods and Plates

3. Elastic Waves

4. Thermal Conduction and Viscosity in Solids

Look for insightful physical explanations, and expect to read with a pen and paper at your side, to understand exactly the brilliance behind each statement made.

hi, anyone can help me on application of Boundary condition in 3D Fem

Submitted by sameer2008 on

 hi i am solving 3D heat diffusion equation could you tell me the process of boundary condition  application in the main problem. i want to use mixed boundary condition that is robin boundary condition. how the boundary condition will effect the system stiffness and the mass matrix? or plz tell me some good books' name  from where i can get some idea.

 

plz plz plz
