based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity, static analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (fg-cntrc) cylindrical panel subjected to mechanical uniformed load with simply supported boundary conditions is carried out. in the process, stress and displacement fields are expanded according to the fourier series along the axial and circumferential coordinates. from ...

This paper presents an analytical refined beam model taking into account the axial, shear and transverse normal stress distributions. Based on equilibrium equations in local form iterative procedure for solution of bipotential equation, differential axial motion are derived. From a mathematical point view formal structure obtained is identical to Timoshenko but with increased accuracy. achieved...

By far the most common rock testing configuration is axisymmetric compression in which the most compressive principal stress (σ1) is axial and the other two are equal and provide the lateral confinement. Somewhat less common is axisymmetric extension in which the least compressive stress (σ3) is axial and the other two are again equal and provide the lateral confinement. Although these tests ha...

Modern technology has been used to build tunnels in recent years by means of drilling machines (TBM) that were used for civil engineering work in large cities to reduce the harmful effects of spending on the surface of the earth significantly. To build the tunnel, numerical modeling was used on the basis of the finite element method to predict stress behavior during the tunnel construction proc...

The surface finish was extensively studied in usual machining processes (turning, milling, and drilling). For these processes, the surface finish is strongly influenced by the cutting feed and the tool nose radius. However, a basic understanding of tool/surface finish interaction and residual stress generation has been lacking. This paper aims to investigate the surface finish and residual stre...

BACKGROUND The Dynesys system provides stability for destabilized spines while preserving segmental motion. However, clinical studies have demonstrated that the Dynesys system does not prevent adjacent segment disease. Moreover, biomechanical studies have revealed that the stiffness of the Dynesys system is comparable to rigid fixation. Our previous studies showed that adjusting the cord preten...

The state of stress induced by a shrink-fitted circular shaft in an elastically similar half-space, positioned so that the end of the shaft is flush with the remainder of the free surface, is studied. At deep interior points the classical plane strain (Lamé) solution obtains, and the transition to the free surface state is found. It is found that a residual interfacial axial shear develops and ...

Stress relaxation and structural analysis were used to investigate the zonally differentiated microstructural response to compression of the integrated cartilage-on-bone tissue system. Fifteen cartilage-on-bone samples were divided into three equal groups and their stress relaxation responses obtained at three different levels of axial compressive strain defined as low (~20%), medium (~40%) and...

Mechanical stress has a strong effect on the magnitude of the Barkhausen-noise in structural steels. Because the measurements are performed at the surface of the material, for a sample sheet, the full effect can be described by a biaxial stress field. The measured Barkhausen-noise is dependent on the orientation of the exciting magnetic field relative to the axis of the stress tensor. The sampl...
