Linear Elastic

Elastography is a noninvasive imaging technique that provides information on soft tissue stiffness. Young’s modulus is typically used to characterize soft tissues’ response to the applied force, as soft tissues are often considered linear elastic, isotropic, and quasi-incompressible materials. This approximation is reasonable for small strains, but soft tissues undergo large deformations also for small values of force and exhibit nonlinear elastic behavior. Outside the linear regime, the elastic modulus is dependent on the strain level and is different for any kind of tissue. The aim of this study was to characterize, ex vivo, the mechanical response of two different mice muscles to an external force. A system for transverse force-controlled uniaxial compression enabled obtaining the stress-strain (σ-ε) curve of the samples. The strain-dependent Young’s modulus (SYM) model was adopted to reproduce muscle compression behavior and to predict the elastic modulus for large deformations. After that, a recursive linear model was employed to identify the initial linear region of the σ-ε curve. Results showed that both muscle types exhibited a strain hardening effect and that the SYM model provided good fitting of the entire σ-ε curves. The application of the recursive linear model allowed capturing the initial linear region in which the approximation of these tissues as linear elastic materials is reasonable. The residual analysis displayed that even if the SYM model better summarizes the muscle behavior on the entire region, the linear model is more precise when considering only the initial part of the σ-ε curve.

ABSTRACTThe commercial development of low-power electronics and electro-optics based on antimonides demands a better understanding of the mechanical properties of ternary and quaternary thin-film alloys fabricated from the InGaAlAsSbP material system. Of particular importance is the determination of Young's modulus of these materials. In this paper, a technique for studying the mechanical behavior of these thin films was developed by using microbeam bending and finite element modeling. The technique was successfully applied to investigate the mechanical properties of GaSb. A test structure consisting of an array of gallium antimonide microbeams was fabricated with lengths ranging from 50 to 500 μm long. The microbeams were deflected using a calibrated nanoprobe, thereby generating load-displacement curves. Young's modulus was then extracted from the data using beam bending theory and a finite element simulation of the structures under load. A total of five microbeams with the same trapezoidal cross-section and lengths of 80, 85, 200, 250 and 500 μm were tested to study the technique applicability and size scaling effects on the mechanical properties. It was observed that the 80 and 85 μm beams exhibited linear elastic behavior and the 200, 250, and 500 μm microbeams exhibited non-linear elastic behavior.

Knowing the material properties of the musculoskeletal soft tissue could be important to develop rehabilitation therapy and surgical procedures. However, there is a lack of devices and information on the viscoelastic properties of soft tissues around the lumbar spine. The goal of this study was to develop a portable quantifying device for providing strain and stress curves of muscles and ligaments around the lumbar spine at various stretching speeds. Each sample was conditioned and applied for 20 repeatable cyclic 5 mm stretch-and-relax trials in the direction and perpendicular direction of the fiber at 2, 3 and 5 mm/s. Our device successfully provided the stress and strain curve of the samples and our results showed that there were significant effects of speed on the young’s modulus of the samples (p < 0.05). Compared to the expensive commercial device, our lower-cost device provided comparable stress and strain curves of the sample. Based on our device and findings, various sizes of samples can be measured and viscoelastic properties of the soft tissues can be obtained. Our portable device and approach can help to investigate young’s modulus of musculoskeletal soft tissues conveniently, and can be a basis for developing a material testing device in a surgical room or various lab environments.

This paper presents the residual properties and parameters of the damage-based fatigue life prediction models of the steel wire ropes under fretting fatigue conditions. The damage mechanics-based approach is employed to develop the predictive method for the reliability of the steel wire ropes. The elastic modulus is dependent on the fatigue load condition and the accumulated number of the load cycles. The characteristic degradation of the Young’s modulus of drawn steel wires is established through the phenomenological presentation of the interrupted fatigue test data. The samples are given a quasi-static loading followed by a block cyclic loading with various stress amplitudes and ratios. The residual Young’s modulus is calculated after each block of cycles. The effect of the different loading condition with the amplitude and mean stress on the measured fatigue life of a single wire is presented using the life parameter, χ. The residual Young’s modulus data are presented in terms of normalized quantities. Significant reduction in the elastic modulus due to fatigue is exhibited after enduring 70% of the fatigue life of the material. The fitting constants are obtained, and the fitted equation is used to describe the degradation of Young’s modulus at N number of cycles. Subsequently, the data can be applied to predict the fatigue-life of steel wire ropes and assess its reliability through fretting-induced damage models.

The changes in the microhardness and Young’s modulus of the 2 MeV C+ ion–irradiated IG-110 isotropic nuclear graphite were evaluated by a dynamic ultra-microhardness test. Indentation depth and load dependency of the hardness and elastic modulus were observed possibly due to the formation of a range. Both the hardness and Young’s modulus (E) – dpa curves have shown an incubation dose for about ı 0.3 mdpa. After the incubation dose, both the hardness and E showed a rapid increase with the dose. The doses that corresponds to these rapid increases in the hardness and E coincides with the dose that corresponds to the beginning of the irradiationinduced surface distortion, and the loss of the graphite crystallinity (amorphization).

Different Characteristics

This paper deals with stress analysis of a single lap-jointed cantilevered beam using the three dimensional linear elastic finite element analysis (FEA) technique. Numerical examples are provided to show the influence on the stresses of the single lap-jointed cantilevered beams using adhesives of different characteristics which encompass the entire spectrum of viscoelastic behaviour. The results indicate that the stress distributions of a single-lap jointed cantilevered beam are strongly affected by both Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratios. The maximum stress ratio was used to determine maximum values of Young’s Modulus required in order that the static stresses of an adhesively bonded cantilevered beam will not be more than given value of that of the equivalent homogeneous structure, that is a geometrically similar beam but without a joint. The analysis results also show that by choosing suitable adhesives, the maximum stresses can be reduced and the strength can be improved.

AbstractHardness and modulus values of bulk and epilayer ZnTe and CdTe samples and of ZnTe-CdTe superlattices are reported. Both hardness and Young's modulus values increase with increasing ZnTe content in the ZnCdTe samples. Alloying effects and strains in the superlattice structure are proposed to explain the strengthening.

The Impact

Cast nickel-base superalloys elastic properties have a very large scatter, mainly because of the coarse grain microstructure and in-grain anisotropy. This high dispersion must be taken into account in the design of gas turbine blades, in particular when evaluating phenomena directly linked to the elastic behavior, such as blades vibration. This source of elastic properties scatter becomes even more important on specimens for material characterization because of their inferior size, which entails a lesser number of grains (i.e. a larger scatter). In this paper a model aimed to quantify such scatter is proposed. The performances of the model in predicting the standard deviation of the Young’s modulus (and consequently of the eigenfrequencies) are also shown, both for tested specimens and blades excited on clamps. Finally, a sensitivity FEM modal analysis is performed in order to evaluate how the elastic property dispersion might affect the blade eigenfrequencies and the relative mode shapes, with particular emphasis on the case of a specific region of a geometrically complex component affected by an anomalous Young’s modulus. Besides, the influence of the blade mass is evaluated through both experimental clamp impact tests and FEM analyses. The effect on blades of such source of scatter is then compared to the effect of the elastic properties dispersion. ANSYS program has been used for the simulations.

Abstract In this article, Young’s modulus of a flexible piezoresistive nanocomposite made of a certain amount of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) contents dispersed in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has been investigated using theoretical and experimental approaches. The PDMS/MWCNT nanocomposites with the governing factor of MWCNT weight fraction (e.g., 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 wt%) were synthesized by the solution casting fabrication method. The nanocomposite samples were subjected to a standard compression test to measure their elastic modulus using Instron Universal testing machine under force control displacement mode. Due to the costs and limitations of experimental tests, theoretical predictions on the elasticity modulus of such flexible nanocomposites have also been performed using Eshelby–Mori–Tanaka (EMT) and Halpin–Tsai (HT) approaches. The theoretical results showed that HT’s approach at lower MWCNT contents and EMT’s approach at higher MWCNT contents have a better agreement to experimental results in predicting the elastic modulus of PDMS/MWCNT nanocomposites. The experimental results indicated that the inclusion of MWCNT in the PDMS matrix resulted in a noticeable improvement in Young’s modulus of PDMS/MWCNT nanocomposite at small values of MWCNT contents (up to w f = 0.25%); however, exceeding this nanofiller content did not elevate Young’s modulus due to the emergence of MWCNT agglomerations in the nanocomposite structure.

This paper addresses a relatively simple method of measuring Young's modulus of electroplated nickel using Atomic Force Microscope. Thin layer of nickel to be measured is electroplated onto the tip side of AFM silicon cantilever, whose Young's modulus and the geometric dimensions are defined from manufacturer. The resonant frequency and the quality factor of the electroplated AFM cantilever are measured by the tapping mode of AFM and its spring constant is calculated using Sader's method. The spring constant of the electroplated cantilever is also calculated by using the laminar composite beam theory. Comparing two spring constants, Young's modulus of the electroplated nickel is determined. The measured elastic modulus of nickel in each time step is in the range of between and the average elastic modulus is with relative uncertainty of less than 5%
