Unexpected Phenomena in Multilayered Copper Subjected to Plane Strain Compression

non-linear analysis of viscoelastic rectangular plates subjected to in-plane compression

geometrically nonlinear governing equations for a plate with linear viscoelastic material are derived. the material model is of boltzmann superposi¬tion principle type. a third-order displacement field is used to model the shear deformation effects. for the solution of the nonlinear governing equations the dynamic relaxation (dr) iterative method together with the finite difference discretizati...

Characterization of Li - ion Battery Segments Subjected to Lateral Compression and an In - Plane Tension

In the last two decades, Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become an inherent part of dayto-day life thanks to their widespread use in many consumer products and electric vehicles. While these batteries possess great advantages, they also carry an inherent safety liability: In case of a crash event, short-circuit failure of the battery may develop, leading to thermal runaway, fires and even e...

Simulation and modeling of turbulence subjected to a period of uniform plane strain

Direct numerical simulation is used to evaluate the effect of plane strain on isotropic homogeneous turbulence. The subsequent return to isotropy after the removal of the strain is also investigated. Large, moderate, and small strain rates are computed at moderate turbulence Reynolds numbers. The initial turbulence is generated via mechanical mixing so that the large scale turbulence develops r...

Strain analysis of a disk subjected to diametral compression by means of holographic interferometry.

Two simultaneous holograms and several directions of observation are utilized to determine the components of displacement and strain in the disk. A reference strip is introduced to relate the fringe orders in the two holograms. A very good agreement is obtained between the holographic results and the elasticity theory solution. The obtained displacement field is estimated to be accurate to 8 x ...
