Newton’s laws and a dynamic force-field analogy for analyzing organizational changes

Submitted by mpeleehp on

The abstract of the paper is as follows (to appear in International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education)

 A dynamic force-field analogy for analyzing organizational change is presented. Instead of

just analyzing the driving and restraining forces in the traditional force-field analysis, which is similar to

the static analysis in solid mechanics, the forces opposing change can be modeled in terms of viscous

or frictional forces that may be encountered. Some analogies between organizational change and the

Inelastic hosts as electrodes for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries

Submitted by Kejie Zhao on

Silicon can host a large amount of lithium, making it a promising electrode for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries.  Upon absorbing lithium, silicon swells several times its volume; the deformation often induces large stresses and pulverizes silicon.

dracker prager plasticity model with softening

Submitted by Gamal on

Hi my friends,i am using Dracker prager plasticity model to simulate uniaxial compression (softening) of coal samples.in dracker prager, the shear criterion is linear, and the hardening type is compression. there is a table that i should fill out, this table composed of yield stress and abs. plastic stain. my question is:- how can i fill out this table by using the experimental data (stress-strain diagram for uniaxial compression test) ?? shall i convert these data using any equations??

Beam on elastic foundation

Submitted by parisa on

Dear All,

I am wondering that is there any closed form solution for beam on elastic foundation in case which we have got two stiffness for the springs namely (axial and shear stiffness). The axial force are born because of the some loading conditions in the support.Would you please help me about this?

Thank you,

Parisa
