In this paper, an analytical solution for computing the linear plastic stresses and critical pressure in a FGM hollow cylinder under the internal pressure due to non-Axisymmetric Loads is developed. It has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity was varying through thickness of the FGM material according to a power law relationship. The Poisson's ratio was considered constant throughout the...

Recent work in modeling of the ploughing mechanism in basic metal machining may provide a means of estimating the additional forces to be expected when cutting with a worn tool. The results predict the rubbing stresses due to the finite radius of an unworn tool edge. Since an unworn tool can be thought of as a worn tool with a wear land width VB = 0, these stresses can make up part of a strateg...

This paper presents a study on interfacial stresses of a concrete column confined by fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) plate, which has been widely applied in the civil engineering for rehabilitation and retrofitting of conventional structures. It is assumed that both the FRP plate and concrete structures are elastic and the interface between them is perfectly bonded. An analytical model for analy...

Making use of concrete materials in cut-off walls, because of their low permeability and standing high Hydraulic Gradient caused by underground drainage, has attracted great amount of attention. Using ordinary concrete with high elasticity modulus, compared to other materials may accompany with problems including brittleness of cutoffs due to dynamic stresses. To solve this problem, adding a ce...

Under mechanical loading, most living cells show a viscoelastic deformation that follows a power law in time. After removal of the mechanical load, the cell shape recovers only incompletely to its original undeformed configuration. Here, we show that incomplete shape recovery is due to an additive plastic deformation that displays the same power-law dynamics as the fully reversible viscoelastic...

The expressions for the free energy in two recent formulations of strain gradient plasticity are extended to include the locked-in strain energy around statistically stored dislocations. This is accomplished by using the strain dependent factor h(ep), which represents the fraction of the rate of plastic work converted into heat in accordance with the latent heat measurements from classical meta...

X-ray diffraction measurement in the bulk of engineering components allows evaluation of lattice spacing variation by application of Bragg law and hence, by comparison with a strain-free reference specimen, computation of elastic strains and stresses. Diffraction peak position is related to average elastic strain within the scattering grains, whilst diffraction peak shape is related to crystall...

In this paper, an analytical solution for computing the linear plastic stresses and critical temperature and pressure in a FGM hollow cylinder under the internal pressure and temperature is developed. It has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity and thermal coefficient of expansion were varying through thickness of the FGM material according to a power law relationship. The Poisson's rati...

Seth’s transition theory is applied to the problems of thickness variation parameter in a thin rotating disc by finite deformation. Neither the yield criterion nor the associated flow rule is assumed here. The results obtained here are applicable to compressible materials. If the additional condition of incompressibility is imposed, then the expression for stresses corresponds to those arising ...

OBJECTIVES Besides the fixation of the restoration, an important function of dental luting cements is to seal the gap between tooth and restoration. However, as a result of adhesion, curing contraction is hindered, creating stresses. To maintain the seal these stresses neither exceed the bond nor the cohesive strength of the cement. The aim of this study was to evaluate a rather simple model, w...
