in this study , the physical and mechanical properties of polypropylene composites reinforced with bagasse alkaline-sulfite-anthraquinone, soda-anthraqouinone, monoethanolamine-anthraquinone chemical pulps and mechanical pulp (cmp) known as pulp-plastic compostes (ppc) were investigated and the results were compared among ppcs and with polypropylene composites reinforced with bagasse flour know...

Analysis of reciprocating equipment piston rod leads to nonlinear elastic-plastic deformation analysis of rod with initial imperfection under axial dynamic load. In this paper a new and effective model and analytical formulations are presented to evaluate dynamic deformation and elastic-plastic stresses of reciprocating machine piston rod. This new method has capability to account for geometric...

Abstract—In this paper, an analytical simplified method for calculating elasto-plastic stresses strains of notched bodies subject to non-proportional loading paths is discussed. The method was based on the Neuber notch correction, which relates the incremental elastic and elastic-plastic strain energy densities at the notch root and the material constitutive relationship. The validity of the me...

This paper develops a theoretical model for wrinkling of an elastic film on an elastic–plastic metal layer caused by cyclic temperatures. The film is compressively strained and bonded to the metal layer, which in turn lies on a thick substrate. The thermal expansion mismatch between the metal and the substrate induces a biaxial stress, which is assumed to be large enough to cause the metal to d...

A new framework for thinking about the deformation behavior of rocks and other heterogeneous polycrystalline materials is proposed, based on understanding the patterns of stress transmission through these materials. Here, using finite element models, I show that stress percolates through polycrystalline materials that have heterogeneous elastic and plastic properties of the same order as those ...

A finite element model is developed to study the transient thermo-mechanical contact between a rigid sphere and an elastic–plastic sphere. Interference and tangential displacement are applied to the rigid sphere while the elastic–plastic sphere is stationary. The radius of the rigid sphere is larger than that of the elastic–plastic sphere to model flattening. Universal solutions are obtained fo...

Bulk metallic glasses exhibit high strength and large elastic strain limit but have no tensile ductility. However, bulk metallic glass composites reinforced by in-situ dendrites possess significantly improved toughness but at the expense of high strength and large elastic strain limit. Here, we report a bulk metallic glass composite with strong strain-hardening capability and large elastic stra...

The structure-function relationship of a gellan family of polysaccharides, S-198 gum produced by Alcaligenes ATCC31853 was investigated in terms of rheological aspects. The flow curves of S-198 gum showed plastic behavior above 0.3%. Gelation did not occur in S-198 gum solution at low temperature (0 ̊C), even at 0.8%. Both the viscosity and the elastic modulus remained constant with increasing t...
