Understanding Stresses and Strains Across the Scales – Mechanical Microscopy Studies at the Oxford MBLEM lab
نویسنده
چکیده
The overarching purpose of the group’s studies lies in elucidating the variety of ways in which materials and structures accommodate deformation and carry load at different scales and levels of organisation. To this end, mechanical microscopy is underpinned by multi-scale simulation using analytical and numerical methods and drawing on advanced finite element modelling, dislocation dynamics, molecular dynamics, etc. A few high profile examples of recent studies will be drawn upon, and are listed below.

Creep Stress Redistribution Analysis of Thick-Walled FGM Spheres
Time-dependent creep stress redistribution analysis of thick-walled FGM spheres subjected to an internal pressure and a uniform temperature field is investigated. The material creep and mechanical properties through the radial graded direction are assumed to obey the simple power-law variation throughout the thickness. Total strains are assumed to be the sum of elastic, thermal and creep strain...
متن کاملApplication of Pulse Method to Incremental Slitting Measurement of Residual Stresses in Laminated Composites
In this research, the incremental slitting method was employed to determine throughthickness residual stress profile of a carbon/epoxy laminate. The method involves measuring strains at the back surface of the stressed specimen, while a narrow slit is cut by a CNC milling machine progressively from the top surface of the specimen. "Pulse Method" was selected as the computational approach for th...
متن کاملMapping of mechanical strains and stresses around quiescent engineered three-dimensional epithelial tissues.
Understanding how physical signals guide biological processes requires qualitative and quantitative knowledge of the mechanical forces generated and sensed by cells in a physiologically realistic three-dimensional (3D) context. Here, we used computational modeling and engineered epithelial tissues of precise geometry to define the experimental parameters that are required to measure directly th...
متن کاملCreep Evolution Analysis of Composite Cylinder Made of Polypropylene Reinforced by Functionally Graded MWCNTs
Polypropylene is one of the most common, fastest growing and versatile thermoplastics currently used to produce tanks and chemical piping systems. Even at room temperature creep is considerable for polypropylene products. The creep behavior of strains, stresses, and displacement rates is investigated in a thick-walled cylinder made of polypropylene reinforced by functionally graded (FG) multi-w...
