This paper investigates the development of a novel framework and its implementation for the nonlinear tuning of nano/microresonators. Using geometrically exact mechanical formulations, a nonlinear model is obtained that governs the transverse and longitudinal dynamics of multilayer microbeams, and also takes into account rotary inertia effects. The partial differential equations of motion are d...

The material properties of OFHC copper film was investigated with the High-Speed Material Micro Testing Machine (HSMMTM) at the high strain rates. The rate-dependent stress-strain curves from the experiment and the Johnson−Cook curve fitting showed large discrepancies as the plastic strain increases since the constitutive model implies no rate-dependent strain hardening effect. A new constituti...

This paper presents a detailed description of the computer implementation of a generalized midpoint algorithm for integration of constitutive relations for von Mises’ hardening material. A nonlinear scalar equation for determination of the plastic multiplier is derived. The solution of this equation for a hardening material, by the Newton-Raphson method, usually converges in threefour iteration...

Based on experimental results, a dislocation material model describing the dynamic strain aging effect at different temperatures is presented. One and two stage loading tests were performed in order to investigate the influence of the loading direction as well as the temperature influence due to the hardening mechanism. Bergström’s theory of work hardening was used as a basis for the model deve...

The goal of this research is to study the anisotropic material behavior during forming processes, represented by both complex yield loci and kinematic-isotropic hardening models. A first part of this paper describes the main concepts of the ‘Stress-strain interpolation’ model that has been implemented in the non-linear finite element code Lagamine. This model consists of a local description of ...

in the first impounding of rockfill dams, additional settlements occur in upstream side in saturated rockfills due to collapse phenomenon even high rainy seasons can cause additional deformation in the dumped rockfills. unfortunately these displacements are not taken into account in the conventional numerical models which are currently used to predict embankment dam behavior during impounding. ...

a comparison between design codes i.e. aci and aisc-lrfd in evaluation of flexural strength of concrete filled steel tubular columns (cfts) is examined. for this purpose an analytical study on the response of cfts under axial-flexural loading is carried using three-dimensional finite elements with elasto-plastic model for concrete with cracking and crushing capability and elastoplastic kinemati...

The article proposes resolving equations for eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete short columns obtained on the viscoelastic model basis. Comparison of results according to theory heredity, hardening, aging, flow, kinetic theory, as well nonlinear creep by Yu.A. Gurieva is presented.

In this paper, accumulation of plastic deformation of AISI 1045 steel plates with circular cutouts under cyclic axial loading is studied. Loading was applied under force-control conditions. Experimental tests were performed using a Zwick/Roell servo hydraulic machine. Under force-control loading with nonzero mean force, plastic strain was accumulated in continuous cycles called ratcheting. Nume...
