Ends of an initially straight plate strip are rotated 90 deg. Using nonlinear bending theory, the maximum stress is obtained as a function of the half-distance between the rotated ends of the strip. Numerical results are presented in nondimensional form, and the theoretical solution is shown to compare favorably with experimental results. Information given here has a direct application to stress states in a stress corrosion specimen.

This paper presents an analysis of the postbuckling behavior of an initially straight plate strip of variable flexural rigidity whose ends are subjected to opposing “axial” loads. Bending action takes place only in the center section of the strip, since the symmetric end portions are considered to be rigid. Pertinent postbuckling load-deflection curves are deduced by using the nonlinear bending theory of a plate strip, and the maximum stress is obtained as a function of the half-distance between the loaded ends. Numerical results are presented in nondimensional form, and the theoretical solution is shown to compare favorably with a major portion of the experimental stress and deflection data. Information given here has an important and direct application to the determination of bending stress states in the lateral faces of a wide class of tensile test coupons used in stress corrosion studies.

Abstract In a previous paper by the author (1), a theoretical solution for a notched strip under longitudinal tension is given. The result demands the solution of an infinite system of linear equations. A considerable amount of labor is involved in solving such a system. It seems, however, that the labor can be diminished by adapting to the solution a process known as the promotion of rank. In this paper such a process is described and then applied to solve the problem of a notched strip under transverse bending. The solution of this problem seems also to be new. The numerical results obtained are compared graphically with the experimental results available.

AbstractIn this paper the performance of a constitutive model for the description of the hydro mechanical behaviour of soft rock is evaluated with respect to the experimentally observed behaviour of Maastricht Calcarenite under different stress states that is presented in the companion paper. The mechanical model is elasto-plastic and consists of an associated yield surface, internal variables for the description of the hardening and softening behaviour and a non-local extension for the simulation of strain localization in form of shear bands and compaction bands. The model is implemented in the software ABAQUS and the laboratory results from the tests under dry condition with Maastricht Calcarenite are used for the calibration. The good agreement of the numerical results with the laboratory results is shown and the suitability of the model is discussed. To describe the effect of compaction bands on the permeability of soft rocks a simple analytical model based on the Kozeny–Carman equation is proposed and calibrated with the experimental results from drained tests under different stress states for Maastricht Calcarenite rock material. As the results are in good accordance with the experimental results, the model is implemented in the software ABAQUS and the numerical results are presented and discussed. Finally the performance of the model is evaluated and possible improvements are suggested.

AbstractMolecular dynamics (MD) analysis of methane hydrate is important for the application of methane hydrate technology. This study investigated the microstructure changes of sI methane hydrate and the laws of stress–strain evolution under the condition of compression and tension by using MD simulation. This study further explored the mechanical property and stability of sI methane hydrate under different stress states. Results showed that tensile and compressive failures produced an obvious size effect under a certain condition. At low temperature and high pressure, most of the clathrate hydrate maintained a stable structure in the tensile fracture process, during which only a small amount of unstable methane broke the structure, thereby, presenting a free-motion state. The methane hydrate cracked when the system reached the maximum stress in the loading process, in which the maximum compressive stress is larger than the tensile stress under the same experimental condition. This study provides a basis for understanding the microscopic stress characteristics of methane hydrate.

In this article, we present the numerical analysis of a Free Standing Riser. The numerical simulation was carried out using a commercial riser analysis software suit. The numerical model’s dimensions were the same of a 1/70 reduced scale model deployed in a previous experiment. The numerical results were compared with experimental results presented in a previous article [1]. Discussion about the model and limitations of the numerical analysis is included.

AbstractIn recent years, studies on the development of new and advanced composite materials have been increasing. Among these new technological products, Fiber Metal Laminates (FML), and hybrid structures made of aluminium, carbon, glass or aramid fiber, are preferred especially in the aircraft industry due to their high performance. Therefore, free vibration analysis is necessary for the design process of such structures. In this study, the vibration characteristics of FML for clamped-free boundary conditions were investigated experimentally and numerically. Firstly, numerical results were obtained using Finite Element Method (FEM) and then these results were compared with the experimental results. It was seen that the numerical results were in good agreement with the experimental results. As the theoretical model was justified, the effects of various parameters such as number of layers, fiber orientations, and aluminium layer thickness on the in-plane vibration characteristics of the FML straight beam were analysed using FEM. Thus, most important parameters affecting the vibration characteristics of the hybrid structures were determined.

In this paper, a numerical model is developed to simulate the ballistic impact of a projectile on a sandwich panel with honeycomb core and composite skin. To this end, a suitable material model for the aluminum honeycomb core is used taking the strain-rate dependent properties into account. To validate the ballistic impact of the projectile on the honeycomb core, numerical results are compared with the experimental results available in literature and ballistic limit velocities are predicted with good accuracy. Moreover, to achieve composite skin material model, a VUMAT subroutine including damage initiation based on Hashin’s seven failure criteria and damage evolution based on MLT approach modulus degradation is used. To validate the composite material model VUMAT subroutine, the ballistic limit velocities of the projectile impact on the composite laminates are predicted similar to the numerical results presented by other researchers. Next, the numerical model of the sandwich panel ballistic impact at different velocities is compared with the available experimental results in literature, and energy absorption capacity of the sandwich panel is predicted accurately. In addition, the numerical model simulated the sandwich panel damage mechanisms in different stages similar to empirical observations. Also, the composite skin damages are investigated based on different criteria damage contours.

Forming limit diagram (FLD) is one of the formability criteria which is a plot of major strain versus minor strain. In the present study, Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model is used for FLD prediction of aluminum alloy 6061. Whereas correct selection of GTN parameters’ is effective in the accuracy of this model, anti-inference method and numerical simulation of the uniaxial tensile test is used for identification of GTN parameters. Proper parameters of GTN model is imported to the finite element analysis of Nakazima test for FLD prediction. Whereas FLD is dependent on forming history and strain path, forming limit stress diagram (FLSD) based on the GTN damage model is also used for forming limit prediction in the numerical method. Numerical results for FLD, FLSD and punch’s load-displacement are compared with experimental results. Results show that there is a good agreement between the numerical and experimental results. The main drawback of numerical results for prediction of the right-hand side of FLD which was concluded in other researchers’ studies was solved in the present study by using GTN damage model.
