The application of thermoelastic stress analysis in compound structure is particularly complicated because of the different material components, which determines the different thermoelastic effect to be depended on the different material property and mechanical performance. This paper describes a theoretical and experimental analysis on full-filed stress distribution from thermoelastic measurements and its application to determination of stress concentration for compound Steel-Foam-GFRP structure. A finite element modeling is proposed to calculate the sum of the principal stress under the condition of dynamic cyclic load. The sum of the principal stress can be measured by means of thermal stress analysis (TSA). Lock-in thermography has been applied to measure the sum of principal stress distribution of component by its high thermal resolution. In this study, Experiments were carried out with Steel-Foam-GFRP compound structure under dynamic periodic load. The thermoelastic constant is calibrated for different component of compound structure, respectively. An artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed to identify the different component stress distribution on whole compound structure. The experimental result shows that the stress distribution of compound structure can be measured and analyzed using lock-in thermography. It is found that the stress distribution of compound structure can be evaluated with good accuracies by lock-in thermography.

In this study, Finite element method is used to calculate the sum of principal stress distribution, and the thermoelastic effect model is developed to study the relationship between the temperature deviation and the applied stress in an elastic material. Experiments were carried out with ANSI 7071 high strength aluminum alloys ply and ones with a crack under cyclic load. The thermoelastic constant is obtained for ANSI 7071 high strength aluminum alloys materials. The stress concentration factor is calculated for a ply with modeling crack under the condition of different loads.

This paper describes a theoretical and experimental analysis on full-filed stress distribution from thermoelastic measurements and its application to determination of stress concentration. The sum of the principle stress can be measured by Thermal Stress Analysis (TSA). Lock-in Thermography is very effective tool to measure the structure stress distribution by its high thermal resolving. In this study, the thermoelastic effect theory is described and the relationship between the temperature and the applied stress is developed in an elastic material. Experiments were carried out with 2A12 aluminium alloys plate and ones with hole structure under cyclic load. The thermoelastic effect coefficient is obtained for 2A12 aluminium alloys materials, and the effect law is analyzed that the stress value measured was affected by load frequencies. The optional load frequency is obtained, and that is, the load frequency is selected greater than 3.5Hz for 2Al12 materilas, and it was found that the structure stress can be evaluated with good accuracies by the lock in thermography. The experiment was carried out for aircraft components stress distribution measurement and structure stress analysis. The experimental results show the stress concentration position is easy found from stress distribution by lock-in thermography.

Optical polyimide (PI) membranes have been increasingly attractive in optoelectronic substrate and optical element material applications. Controlled stress distribution is very important to optical PI membrane-based optics. However, nondestructive absolute stress measurement inside optical PI membranes remains challenging. In this letter, we adopted the stress birefringence method to experimentally investigate the correlation between stress and retardation in uniaxially, biaxially, and circularly stretched PI membranes. The calculated value of the photoelastic coefficient was found to be around 400 nm/Mpa·cm. A theoretical model was established where the retardation angle is the negative arctan of the principal stress ratio in the biaxially stretched membrane. We also found that the average retardation angle is an important parameter for evaluating the uniformity of stretching force in the circularly stretched membrane. This work provides a better understanding of the stress birefringence measurement of membrane materials.

This paper describes a set of theoretical and experimental results based on thermoelastic effect measurement from Glass-Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer (GFRP) composite structure for full-filed stress analysis. The sum of the principle stress (The first stress invariant) can be measured by means of thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA), and this method is used to determine the stress concentration of the composite structure. A finite element analysis is proposed to predict the stress distribution for GFRP gluing structure. The lock-in thermography has been applied to measure the structure stress distribution by its high thermal resolution. The experiment was carried out with different GFRP composite structures by lock in thermography. The experimental results show the stress distribution can be measured and evaluated with good accuracies by using of lock-in thermography

Based on the experimental result of the flexure capability of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by carbon fiber sheets, the stress distribution changes only after steel yielding and carbon fiber sheets function better. However serious the extent of the damage is before strengthened, the tensile strain of main steel reaches about 1.6 times of the yield strain for the secondary grade of steel as failure happens. To satisfy the object reliability indicator, reliability is analyzed using the ratio of the steel strain at the balanced failure to the yield strain as variable to obtain its optimum value, which is coincide with the experimental result, and makes better consistency between calculated reliability indicator and object reliability indicator.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of fibromucosa height on the stress distribution and displacement of mandibular total prostheses during posterior unilateral load, posterior bilateral load and anterior guidance using the finite element analysis (FEA). Material and methods: 3D virtual models were made to simulate the stress generated during different mandibular movements in a total prosthesis. The contacts were simulated according to the physiology, being considered perfectly bonded between cortical and medullar bones; and between cortical bone and mucosa. Non-linear frictional contact was used for the total prosthesis base and fibromucosa, allowing the prosthesis to slide over the tissue. The cortical bone base was fixed and the 100 N load was applied as unilateral load, posterior bilateral load and anterior guidance simulation. The required results were for maximum principal stress (MPa), microstrain (mm/mm) and total displacement (mm). The numerical results were converted into colorimetric maps and arranged according to corresponding scales. Results: The stress generated in all situations was directly proportional to the fibromucosa height. The maximum principal stress results demonstrated greater magnitude for anterior guidance, posterior unilateral and posterior bilateral, respectively. Only posterior unilateral load demonstrated an increase in bone microstrain, regardless of the fibromucosa height. Prosthesis displacement was lower under posterior bilateral loading. Conclusion: Posterior bilateral loading is indicated for total prosthesis because it allows lower prosthesis displacement, lower stress concentration at the base of the prosthesis and less bone microstrain.   Keywords Finite element analysis; Occlusion; Total prosthesis.
