Using slender-body hydrodynamics, we study the flow-induced deformation of a high-aspect-ratio elastic filament. For a filament of zero rest curvature rotating in a viscous linear shear flow, our model predicts a bifurcation to shape instabilities due to compression by the flow, in agreement with experimental observations. Further, nonlinear simulations of this shape instability show that in di...

Frictional and frictionless granular materials in a split-bottom ring shear cell geometry show wide shear bands under slow, quasi-static deformation. Here, the differences between frictional and frictionless materials are elaborated using discrete element simulations (DEM). Several continuum fields like the density, the velocity field, the deformation gradient and the stress are used here for c...

background and objectives: scolymus is one of most abundant plants of mountain areas iran, because of role in the digestion of food auxiliary is located the focus of attention consumers. in iran, more than 17 percent of crops in various stages of the supply becomes losses, which requires knowledge of physical properties, mechanical and hydrodynamic agricultural products. the existence of the in...

Twinning on the plane is a common mode of plastic deformation for hexagonal-close-packed metals. Here we report, by monitoring the deformation of submicron-sized single-crystal magnesium compressed normal to its prismatic plane with transmission electron microscopy, the reorientation of the parent lattice to a 'twin' lattice, producing an orientational relationship akin to that of the conventio...

We present new results for the low strain rate behavior of the steady-state planar shear and elongational viscometric functions of model polymer elts, computed by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The chain lengths in our model polymer melts vary from N = 2 up to = 100 beads, the maximum value corresponding to approximately 57 Kuhn lengths (approximately equivalent to polyethylene...

This paper derives conditions for localized deformation for a transversely isotropic constitutive relation intended to model the response of geological materials in the axisymmetric compression test. The analysis considers the possibility of shear bands, with dilation or compaction, and pure compaction bands. The latter are planar zones of localized pure compressive deformation (without shear) ...

This short note presents a derivation of the velocity description of deformation for the geometric models of pure-shear and simple-shear faultbend folding. This allows the calculation of rates of displacement, uplift and limb-rotation associated with such structures and their comparison with classical fault-bend folds. Using this velocity description, we examine the differences between pure-she...

In this research the stress-strain curve of porous Titanium, as a common material for biomedical application, was predicted using the mechanical properties of fully solid Titanium experimental data. Modified Gurson model (Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model) was used to predict the plastic response of porous Titanium in compaction. Different values of GTN parameters were used for different i...

Thickness stretching effect based on shear and normal deformation theory is used in this paper for magneto-electro-elastic vibration analysis of a three-layered curved nanobeam including a nano core and two piezo-magnetic layers. Size-dependency is included in derivation of governing equations of motion based Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. The initial curvature is accounted in calculatio...
