Localized Structures in Indented Shells: A Numerical Investigation
We present results from a numerical investigation of the localization of deformation in thin elastomeric spherical shells loaded by differently shaped indenters. Beyond a critical indentation, the deformation of the shell ceases to be axisymmetric and sharp structures of localized curvature form, referred to as “s-cones,” for “shell-cones.” We perform a series of numerical experiments to system...
متن کاملLocalized and extended deformations of elastic shells.
The dried raisin, the crushed soda can, and the collapsed bicycle inner tube exemplify the nonlinear mechanical response of naturally curved elastic surfaces with different intrinsic curvatures to a variety of different external loads. To understand the formation and evolution of these features in a minimal setting, we consider a simple assay: the response of curved surfaces to point indentatio...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Instability of Complex Spatial Structures
Abstract: Consistent Imperfection Mode Method (CIMM) is a widely-used and effective numerical method to study the buckling capacity of spatial structure. CIMM used an “artificial” deformation instead of “artificial” load eccentricity to imitate the initial disturbance/imperfection for calculation of buckling load, and the basic mode obtained from linear buckling analysis could be used to simula...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Turbulent Mass Transfer in a 90° Bend
This paper presents a numerical study of local mass transfer coefficients in a 90° bend using the RNG version of k–e model to include the influence of curvature on the turbulent transport. Simulations were performed for flow through a 90°, 3-D bend for Reynolds numbers of 13500, 90000, and 390000, Schmidt numbers of 2.53 and 700 and curvature ratios of 1.5, 2, and 2.5. The differences betwe...
متن کاملA numerical investigation of the effect of vertex geometry on localized surface plasmon resonance of nanostructures.
Advances in nanofabrication and nano-scale measurement methods now allow for fabrication of highly detailed nanometer-scale topographic features. As geometric features greatly impact the formation of an electromagnetic field in response to incident light, this in turn calls for the study of the effects of new features of nanostructures on their performance in applications such as localized surf...
