New results are presented for the stress conjugate to arbitrary Eulerian strain measures. The conjugate stress depends on two arbitrary quantities: the strain measure f(V) and the corotational rate defined by the spin Ω. It is shown that for every choice of f there is a unique spin, called the f-spin, which makes the conjugate stress as close as possible to the Cauchy stress. The f-spin reduces...

To investigate the hot deformation behavior of 17-7 PH stainless steel, hot compression tests were carried out at the temperatures of 950, 1050 and 1150 oC and strain rates of 0.001 s-1 to 0.1 s-1. Accordingly, the hot working behavior was studied by the analyses of flow stress curves, work hardening rate versus stress curves, exponent- type constitutive equations and deformed microstructures. ...

Examining left ventricular midwall as opposed to endocardial mechanics enhances understanding of left ventricular function in individuals with abnormal cardiac geometry. Accordingly, we used carotid ultrasound and applanation tonometry of arterial pressure to derive carotid midwall strain and its relation to carotid peak-systolic and end-diastolic stresses in 82 apparently normal, employed subj...

In this paper, a reinforced concrete(RC) bridge built in an interchange, in the city of Kerman (a city located in south of Iran) is examined by the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system. During the construction of this bridge such as; the main beams, slab, and retaining walls, some Electrical Strain Gauges were mounted on the main reinforcements at different locations within the body of thi...

As was seen in previous modules, stress analysis even of simple-appearing geometries can lead to complicated mathematical maneuvering. Actual articles | engine crankshafts, medical prostheses, tennis rackets, etc. | have boundary shapes that cannot easily be described mathematically, and even if they were it would be extremely difficult to fit solutions of the governing equations to them. One a...
