Nonlinearity and Hysteresis of Resonant Strain Gauges

Nonlinearity and hysteresis effects of electrostatically activated, voltage driven resonant microbridges have been studied theoretically and experimentally. It is shown, that, in order to avoid vibration instability and hysteresis to occur, the choices of the ax . and d.c. driving voltages and of the quality factor of a resonator, with a given geometry and choice of materials, are limited by a ...

Use of Multidepth Deflectometers and Strain Gauges to Investigate the Differential Movement at Railway Bridge Approaches

This paper presents findings from on ongoing research study at the University of Illinois focusing on the instrumentation and performance monitoring of railroad bridge approaches using multidepth deflectometers and strain gauges. Different sensors installed at the selected approaches are introduced, and details of the instrumentation activity are explained. Example track settlement data acquire...

Bending-Unbending Analysis of Anisotropic Sheet under Plane Strain Condition

The mechanical behavior of cold rolled sheets is significantly related to residual stresses that arise from bending and unbending processes. Measurement of residual stresses is mostly limited to surface measurement techniques. Experimental determination of stress variation through thickness is difficult and time-consuming. This paper presents a closed form solution for residual stresses, in whi...

Anisotropic Strain Limiting

Many materials exhibit a highly nonlinear elastic behavior, such as textiles or finger flesh. An efficient way of enforcing the nonlinearity of these materials is through strain-limiting constraints, which is often the model of choice in computer graphics. Strain-limiting allows to model highly non-linear stiff materials by eliminating degrees of freedom from the computations and by enforcing a...
