A new elasto-plastic constitutive model for jointed rock mass, which can consider the persistence ratio in different visual angle and anisotropic increase of plastic strain, is proposed. The proposed the yield strength criterion, which is anisotropic, is not only related to friction angle and cohesion of jointed rock masses at the visual angle but also related to the intersection angle between ...

The main objective of writing review on warpage optimization of injection molded plastic part is to investigate the optimization techniques used for minimization of warpage by optimizing process parameters during injection molding. Highly complex design of plastic products now a days demands dimensional accuracy and good surface finish. As the injection molded part cools, uneven distribution of...

The general principles behind the global mechanical tensioning technique for controlling weld residual stresses are examined using a finite lement model to follow their evolution throughout the welding process. While we focus specifically on friction stir welding, the tool is represented imply as a heat source. As a result, the findings have relevance to a wide range of welding processes. For a...

Thermal residual stresses exist within a body in the absence of external loading or thermal gradients. Processing of the composites often involves cooling from higher temperature resulting in thermal residual stresses in the matrix due to restraint imposed by reinforcements. Thermal residual stresses determinately affect the properties of materials thereby shortening their lifetime. These resid...

Based on the shift of the Bragg reflection and its broadening, 1st and 3rd order internal stresses in crystalline materials can be determined respectively by diffraction method. Between these two orders, we can define a mesoscopic scale, where the stresses come from different arrangements of dislocation arrays or grain misorientation in a polycrystal. For all materials, three orders internal st...

It has not been a simple matter to obtain a sound extension of the classical J2 flow theory of plasticity that incorporates a dependence on plastic strain gradients and that is capable of capturing size-dependent behaviour of metals at the micron scale. Two classes of basic extensions of classical J2 theory have been proposed: one with increments in higher order stresses related to increments o...

In the present study, the influence of variation of notch parameters on the notch stress intensity factor KI is studied using CTspecimen made from steel construction. A semi-elliptical notch has been modeled and investigated and is applied to finite elements model. The specimen is subjected to a uniform uniaxial tensile loading at its two ends under perfect elastic-plastic behavior. The volume...

Recent experiments and simulations have demonstrated that particle-covered fluid/fluid interfaces can exist in stable nonspherical shapes as a result of the steric jamming of the interfacially trapped particles. The jamming confers the interface with solidlike properties. We provide an experimental and theoretical characterization of the mechanical properties of these armored objects, with atte...
