In our previous study, we modeled the indentation performed on an elastic–plastic solid with a rigid conical indenter by using finite element analysis, and established a relationship between a nominal hardness/reduced Young’s modulus (Hn/Er) and unloading work/total indentation work (We/Wt). The elasticity of the indenter was absorbed in Er ≡ 1/[(1 − ν2)/E + (1 − νi2)/Ei], where Ei and νi are the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of the indenter, and E and ν are those of the indented material. However, recalculation by directly introducing the elasticity of the indenter show that the use of Er alone cannot accurately reflect the combined elastic effect of the indenter and indented material, but the ratio η = [E/(1 − ν2)]/[Ei/(1 − νi2)] would influence the Hn/Er–We/Wt relationship. Thereby, we replaced Er with a combined Young’s modulus Ec ≡ 1/[(1 − ν2)/E + 1.32(1 − νi2)/Ei] = Er/[1 + 0.32η/(1 + η)], and found that the approximate Hn/Ec–We/Wt relationship is almost independent of selected η values over 0–0.3834, which can be used to give good estimates of E as verified by experimental results.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to deal with large deformation analysis of plane beams composed of functionally graded (FG) elastic material with a variable Poisson’s ratio. Design/methodology/approach The material is assumed to be linear elastic, with a Poisson’s ratio varying according to a power law along the thickness direction. The finite element used is a plane beam of any-order of approximation along the axis, and with four transverse enrichment schemes, which can describe constant, linear, quadratic and cubic variation of the strain along the thickness direction. Regarding the constitutive law, five materials are adopted: two homogeneous limiting cases, and three intermediate FG cases. The effect of both finite element kinematics and distribution of Poisson’s ratio on the mechanical response of a cantilever is investigated. Findings In accordance with the scientific literature, the second scheme, in which the transverse strain is linearly variable, is sufficient for homogeneous long (or thin) beams under bending. However, for FG short (or moderate thick) beams, the third scheme, in which the transverse strain variation is quadratic, is needed for a reliable strain or stress distribution. Originality/value In the scientific literature, there are several studies regarding nonlinear analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs) via finite elements, analysis of FGMs with constant Poisson’s ratio, and geometrically linear problems with gradually variable Poisson’s ratio. However, very few deal with finite element analysis of flexible beams with gradually variable Poisson’s ratio. In the present study, a reliable formulation for such beams is presented.

Composite has been widely used in various fields due to its advanced performance. To reveal the relation between the mechanical properties of the composite and that of each individual component, finite element analysis (FEA) has usually been adopted. In this study, in order to predict the mechanical properties of hard coating on a soft polymer, the response of this coating system during nanoindentation was modelled. Various models, such as a viscoelastic model and fitting model, were adopted to analyse the indentation response of this coating system. By varying the substrate properties (i.e., Young’s modulus, viscoelasticity, and Poisson’s ratio), Young’s modulus, energy loss, and the viscoelastic model of the coating system were analysed, and how the mechanical properties of the substrate will affect the indentation response of the coating system was discussed.

The knowledge of materials' mechanical properties in design during product development phases is necessary to identify components and assembly problems. These are problems such as mechanical stresses and deformations which normally cause plastic deformation, early fatigue or even fracture. This article is aimed to use particle swarm optimization (PSO) and finite element inverse analysis to determine Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio from a cantilever beam, manufactured in ASTM A36 steel, subjected to a load of 19.6 N applied to its free end. The cantilever beam was modeled and simulated using a commercial FEA software. Constriction Factor Method (PSO variation) was used and its parameters were analyzed in order to improve errors. PSO results indicated Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio errors of around 1.9% and 0.4%, respectively, when compared to the original material properties. Improvement in the data convergence and a reduction in the number of PSO iterations was observed. This shows the potentiality of using PSO along with Finite Element Inverse Analysis for mechanical properties evaluation.

The mechanical properties of cells are important in regulation of many aspects of cell functions. The cell may respond differently to a 2D plate and a 3D scaffold. In this study, the finite element analysis (FEA) was adopted to investigate mechanical deformation of chondrocyte on a 2D glass plate and chondrocyte seeded in a 3D scaffold. The elastic properties of the cell differ in these two different compression tests. This is because that the cell sensed different environment (2D plate and 3D construct) which can alter its structure and mechanical properties. It reveals how the apparent Poisson's ratio of a cell changes with the applied strain depends on its mechanical environment (e.g., the elastic moduli and Poisson's ratios of the scaffold and extracellular matrix) which regulates cell mechanics. In addition, the elastic modulus of the nucleus also plays a significant role in the determination of the Poisson's ratio of the cell for the cells seeded scaffold. It also reveals the intrinsic Poisson's ratio of the cell cannot be obtained by extrapolating the measured apparent Poisson's ratio to zero strain, particularly when scaffold's Poisson's ratio is quite different from the cell.

Abstract In this research, Poisson's ratio of plywood as obtained by a tension test was examined by varying the width of the specimen. The tension tests were conducted on five-plywood of lauan (Shorea sp.) with various widths, and Young's moduli and Poisson's ratios of the specimens were measured. Finite element calculations were independently conducted. A comparison of the experimental results with those of finite element analysis revealed that Young's modulus could be obtained properly when the width of the plywood strip varied. In contrast, the width of the plywood strip should be large enough to determine Poisson's ratio properly.

This paper examines the selection and performance evaluation of a variety of piezoelectric materials for cantilever-based sensor applications. The finite element analysis method is implemented to evaluate the relative importance of materials properties such as Young's Modulus (E), piezoelectric stress constants (e31), dielectric constant (ε) and Poisson's ratio (υ) for cantilever-based sensor applications. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to assign weights to the properties that are studied for the sensor structure under study. A technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is used to rank the performance of the piezoelectric materials in the context of sensor voltage outputs. The ranking achieved by the TOPSIS analysis is in good agreement with the results obtained from finite element method simulation. The numerical simulations show that K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3– LiSbO 3 (KNN–LS) materials family is important for sensor application. Young's modulus (E) is most influencing material's property followed by piezoelectric constant (e31), dielectric constant (ε) and Poisson's ratio (υ) for cantilever-based piezoelectric sensor applications.

Unconfined Compression

Articular cartilage is often characterized as an isotropic elastic material with no interstitial fluid flow during instantaneous and equilibrium conditions, and indentation testing commonly used to deduce material properties of Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio. Since only one elastic parameter can be deduced from a single indentation test, some other test method is often used to allow separate measurement of both parameters. In this study, a new method is introduced by which the two material parameters can be obtained using indentation tests alone, without requiring a secondary different type of test. This feature makes the method more suitable for testing small samples in situ. The method takes advantages of the finite layer effect. By indenting the sample twice with different-sized indenters, a nonlinear equation with the Poisson’s ratio as the only unknown can be formed and Poisson’s ratio obtained by solving the nonlinear equation. The method was validated by comparing the predicted Poisson’s ratio for urethane rubber with the manufacturer’s supplied value, and comparing the predicted Young’s modulus for urethane rubber and an elastic foam material with modulii measured by unconfined compression. Anisotropic and nonhomogeneous finite-element (FE) models of the indentation were developed to aid in data interpretation. Applying the method to bovine patellar cartilage, the tissue’s Young’s modulus was found to be 1.79±0.59MPa in instantaneous response and 0.45±0.26MPa in equilibrium, and the Poisson’s ratio 0.503±0.028 and 0.463±0.073 in instantaneous and equilibrium, respectively. The equilibrium Poisson’s ratio obtained in our work was substantially higher than those derived from biphasic indentation theory and those optically measured in an unconfined compression test. The finite element model results and examination of viscoelastic-biphasic models suggest this could be due to viscoelastic, inhomogeneity, and anisotropy effects.
