An improved semi-analytical solution for stress at round-tip notches

Submitted by Dr. Hanaor - D… on

Highlights

 

A semi-analytical model is developed for the notch tip maximum stress.

Application of the formula to U and blunt V-notches is demonstrated.

The results can be used to assess the brittle failure of notched components.

 

A simple question....

Submitted by D.Rittel on

There has been a lot of buzz and excitement about "big data" lately, to a point that science in the coming years would be made of and by "big data", not to mention "deep learning", another hot item. Well....I just wonder, how comes that nowadays, in those very tough corona times, haven't we founmd a vaccine, maybe a cure, or at least a sound epidemiologic study with clear outcomes using "deep learning" or "big data"? I will appreciate updates that will help me answering those simple questions.
