Constitutive Model for Multi-laminate Induced Anisotropic Double Hardening Elastic-plasticity of Sand
A constitutive multi-laminate based elastic-plastic model developed to be capable of accounting induced anisotropic behavior of granular material such as sand. The fabric feature or grain orientation characteristic effects through medium are considered in a rational way under any complex stress path, including cyclic loading. The salient feature of the developed model is a non-associative on pl...
متن کاملEquilibrium shape of dislocation shear loops in anisotropic -Fe
We present dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations of shear loops in a highly anisotropic linear elastic crystal. The equilibrium shapes of the loops are determined for the four principal slip systems of the body-centered-cubic lattice, using empirical elastic constants for α-Fe, for a range of temperatures over which its elastic anisotropy varies considerably. The results are compared with those...
متن کاملEffect of bending anisotropy on the 3D conformation of short DNA loops.
The equilibrium three dimensional shape of relatively short loops of DNA is studied using an elastic model that takes into account anisotropy in bending rigidities. Using a reasonable estimate for the anisotropy, it is found that cyclized DNA with lengths that are not integer multiples of the pitch take on nontrivial shapes that involve bending out of planes and formation of kinks. The effect o...
متن کاملModeling DNA loops using the theory of elasticity.
An elastic rod model of a protein-bound DNA loop is adapted for application in multi-scale simulations of protein-DNA complexes. The classical Kirchhoff system of equations which describes the equilibrium structure of the elastic loop is modified to account for the intrinsic twist and curvature, anisotropic bending properties, and electrostatic charge of DNA. The effects of bending anisotropy a...
متن کاملA Sub Loading Surface Multilaminate Model for Elastic-Plastic Porous Media
A framework for development of constitutive models based on semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity is proposed. The resulting of this model for material employed friction type failure criterion, sub-loading surface, and associated flow rule. This model is capable of predicting effects of the rotation of principal stress/strain axes and consequent plastic flow, induced anisotropy of strength...
