Stress analysis plays a significant role in the design of parts and structures that must carry load [1]. In this study, Crane hook which is one of lifting equipment, frequently used in material handling is investigated. Analytical (Straight beam, curved beam & Winkler-Bach approximation), experimental (Photo-Elasticity) and numerical (FEM) methods were used by various researchers to study stres...

In this paper, an elastic constitutive model based on the Eulerian corotational rate of the logarithmic strain tensor is proposed. Using this model, the large deformation of a closed cycle containing tension, shear, compression and inverse shear is analyzed. Since the deformation path includes a closed cycle and the material is considered as an isotropic elastic material, the normal and shear c...

In this paper, 2D boundary element stress analysis is carried out to obtain the T-stress for multiple internal edge cracks in thick-walled cylinders for a wide range of cylinder radius ratios and relative crack depth. The T-stress, together with the stress intensity factor K, provides amore reliable two-parameter prediction of fracture in linear elastic fracture mecha...
