The mechanical behavior of cold rolled sheets is significantly related to residual stresses that arise from bending and unbending processes. Measurement of residual stresses is mostly limited to surface measurement techniques. Experimental determination of stress variation through thickness is difficult and time-consuming. This paper presents a closed form solution for residual stresses, in whi...

WITHIN THE context of the small-strain approach, combined mode I and III near-tip fields of a stationary crack in an elastic-plastic solid are obtained by finite element analysis under small-scale yielding conditions. To investigate the behavior of the near-tip fields, the normalized stresses ahead of the crack tip are plotted as functions of the normalized radial distance to the tip for severa...

CRACKS in ductile single crystals are analyzed here for geometries and orientations such that twodimensional states of anti-plane shear constitute possible deformation fields. The crystals are modelled as ideally plastic and yield according to critical resolved shear stresses on their slip systems. Restrictions on the asymptotic forms of stress and deformation fields at crack tips are establish...

There are several types of designs used for unicompartmental tibial components. The all-plastic inlay component is recessed and it preserves bone around the outer edge of the tibia. For an onlay component, the entire condyle is resected, and the plastic bearing is usually metal-backed, although all-plastic components are also available. The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesi...

The conventional elastic analysis of thick walled cylinders to final radial & hoop stresses is applicable for the internal pressures up to yield strength of material. The stress is directly proportional to strain up to yield point Beyond elastic point, particularly in thick walled cylinders. The operating pressures are reduced or the material properties are strengthened. There is no such existi...

Stresses for the elastic-plastic transition and fully plastic state have been derived for a thin rotating disc with inclusion and results have been discussed numerically and depicted graphically. It has been observed that the rotating disc with inclusion and made of compressible material requires lesser angular speed to yield at the internal surface whereas it requires higher percentage increas...

-Silver chloride containing alumina fibers or glass microspheres is used as a model material to study matrix plasticity induced by thermal mismatch in metal matrix composites. Resulting matrix dislocations are decorated at room temperature in the bulk material and observed by optical microscopy. Plastic deformation of the matrix around the inclusions is found to take the form of (i) rows of pri...

In model amorphous solids produced via differing quench protocols, a strong correlation is established between local yield stress measured by direct local probing of shear stress thresholds and the plastic rearrangements observed during remote loading in shear. This purely local measure shows a higher predictive power for identifying sites of plastic activity when compared with more conventiona...
