(To appear in Journal of Elasticity).
We are trying to find out the work conjugate strain (and wryness) measures to T and M (stess and couple stress) and we know that in classical theory the conjugate strain measure is identified using the stress power, which appears in the power balance equation derived taking the inner product of the equation of motion with velocity. Please refer to the attached pdf for details.
1. Given the equations of motion of Cosserat media (Eq 1 and 2 in attached pdf) how do we extend the procedure of calculating the stress power for Cosserat media?
Dear All,
We (the NanoBIO Node at Illinois ) have a preliminary release of an online finite element analysis of nanoindentation (indentation) tool using FEAP .
This preliminary release is limited to linear elastic material, axisymmetric geometry, spherical rigid indenter, and various boundary conditions.
These notes are part of a course on advanced elasticity. The notes recall several phenomena where both elasticity and surface energy are significant, including
The notes also contain a formulation of combined surface energy and elasticity of finite deformation.
Dear all,
We are pleased to announce the forthcoming Summer
School on “Hardening and Damage of Materials under Finite Deformations:
Constitutive Modeling and Numerical Implementation”, which will take place in
Dortmund, Germany from September 3rd to 7th, 2012 and is organized by Prof.
Dr.-Ing. A. Erman Tekkaya of TU Dortmund and Dr. Tudor Balan of LEM3,
ENSAM Metz.
It is essential to know the amount of springback for a given forming process, so that the process or the design of the tool can be modified to obtain the desired product shape. This requires a comprehensive understanding of loading and unloading processes, and determination of elastic constants with finite plastic deformation which, in turn, require precise determination of subsequent yield surfaces.
