We report on a comparison between stress relaxations after an applied step strain and stress relaxations during slow, continuous strain in a bubble raft. A bubble raft serves as a model two-dimensional foam and consists of a single layer of bubbles on a water surface. For both step strains and continuous strain, one observes periods of stress increase and decrease. Our focus is on the distribut...

In industrial rolling, changes in strain rate and temperature occur with strain during passes, and between one pass and the next. Plane strain compression testing has been used with ramped changes in strain rate during deformation, and with changes in strain rate between two deformations to study their effects on flow stress. No systematic deviations from a mechanical equation of state were fou...

In this study, stress and displacement functions of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity for homogeneous isotropic bodies are derived from first principles from the differential equations of equilibrium, the generalized stress – strain laws and the geometric relations of strain and displacement. It is found that the stress and displacement functions must be biharmonic functions. The deriv...

In this paper, we present mathematical analyses to consider the effect of material properties on the sensitivity of the Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) piezoelectric hydrophone and improve the sensitivity by choosing the proper material. The selected structure in the present paper is a piezoelectric hydrophone able to work at low frequencies. The piezoelectric hydrophones are widely used ...

Dimensional accuracy in machined parts depends on the precision of spindle, which is highly affected by applied forces, itself. This precision of spindle becomes more serious when it is used for a period of long times. Therefore, stress and strain analysis of spindle is very important in the behavior and preservation of its precision. In this paper, the forces applied to the spindle of a turnin...

In this paper, the synergistic effects of stress rupture and cyclic loading on the strain response of fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) at elevated temperature in air have been investigated. The stress-strain relationships considering interface wear and interface oxidation in the interface debonded region under stress rupture and cyclic loading have been developed to establish t...

Abstract The research of a formulation to model non-local interactions in the mechanical behavior matter is currently an open problem. In this context, strong based on fractional calculus provided paper. This derived from analogy with long-memory viscoelastic models. Specifically, same kind power-law time-dependent kernel used Boltzmann integral stress-strain relation as Fredholm relation. lead...

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for stress state - dependent flow localization in bifurcation failure model bounded through ductile damage in dynamically loaded sheets. Onset of localized necking is considered in phenomenological way for different strain rates to draw the forming limit diagram (FLD). Using a strain metal hardening exponent in the Vertex theory related to the strain ra...

Contemporary information and communication technologies like e-mail and instant messenger are pervasive in the workplace. Our “always-on” lifestyle has had a dramatic impact on business productivity and technology-induced stress, termed technostress. We know very little about how personality influences technostress or how perceptions of stress and objective strain differ from each other. In thi...
