Stress Separation of Interferometrically Measured Isopachics in a Perforated Plate

A method for the stress separation of interferometrically measured isopachics using an Airy stress function is proposed in this study. A Poisson equation that represents the relationship between the sum of principal stresses and an Airy stress function is solved using a finite element method. The Dirichlet boundary condition for solving the Poisson equation is determined by the approximation of an assumed Airy stress function along the boundary of the model. Therefore, the distribution of the Airy stress function is obtained from the measured isopachic contours. Then, the stresses are obtained from the computed Airy stress function. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by applying the proposed method to the isopachic contours in a perforated plate obtained by Mach-Zehnder interferometry. Results indicate that stress components around a hole in a plate can be obtained from isopachics by the proposed method.     

Application of X-ray diffraction, micromagnetic and hole drilling methods for residual stress determination in a ball bearing steel ring

A basic understanding of distortion problems requires the analysis of a complete manufacturing process including an almost complete overview of residual stress states in the component during each production step. To reduce the measurement time in the future, three measurements methods (X-ray diffraction, micromagnetic and blind hole drilling methods) have been used to analyze residual stress states in machined AISI 52100 ball bearing rings. X-ray diffraction was used as a state-of-the-art method for machining induced residual stresses with pronounced gradients. The ring exhibited a complex residual stress state with high tensile residual stresses at the surface, a strong gradient in depth, and also showed some variation along the outer circumference due to a superimposition of machining induced residual stresses and effects from the clamping device process. Due to this surface state, micromagnetic signals depend on the analyzing frequency. A calibration of the signals was only possible with the X-ray diffraction data. The results of the three different measurement methods correlate reasonably well.     

Symmetrical Representation of Stresses in the Stroh Formalism and its Application to a Dislocation and a Dislocation Dipole in an Anissotropic Elastic Medium

Symmetrical stress representation in the Stroh formalism for anisotropic elastic bodies is introduced and the range of its applicability is analysed. By making use of this stress representation new formulae for influence functions giving stresses in an infinite anisotropic medium subjected to a straight dislocation and a straight dislocation dipole are derived. The advantage of the new formulae is that they explicitly show the symmetrical structure of these influence functions not referred to previously. Relations of these influence functions to influence functions giving stresses and Airy stress function due to a straight wedge disclination, whose explicit expressions are also introduced, are derived. Application of these results in computation of stresses by the hypersingular and regularized Somigliana stress identities is discussed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Opening‐Mode Crack in a Unidirectional Composite Material

The plane static elastic problem of stress concentration in a unidirectional discrete infinite composite weakened by fiber breaks on a line normal to the reinforcement direction (an analog of the Griffith problem of elasticity theory) is considered. The composite is subjected to uniform stresses at infinity, and the crack edges are loaded symmetrically by the normal pressure. The problem reduces to constructing a polynomial with known values at the points of fiber breaks. The stress distribution along the line of breaks is obtained in the form of a fractional rational function of fiber number.     

宽翼缘梁非线性温差自应力级数解

为了客观反映宽翼缘梁在非线性温差作用下的自应力分布特点,克服按梁理论计算温度自应力时的不足,本文从弹性力学的分析方法入手,按平面应力状态分析翼缘板和腹板的温度应力。通过翼缘板与腹板连接处的变形协调条件及平衡条件建立补充方程,求解艾瑞应力函数中的积分常数,推导了翼缘板与腹板的纵、横向正应力、剪应力及位移分量解析式。导出的翼缘板纵向正应力公式可自动考虑宽翼缘梁沿横截面宽度自应力不均匀分布的特点。对一宽翼缘T梁的计算表明,当翼缘板相对于腹板发生温差变化时,沿其宽度的纵向温度自应力分布很不均匀,在翼缘板根部自应力较大而在悬臂端则显著减小。按通常基于梁理论的温度自应力计算方法,无法反映这种应力分布规律。

血管残余应力的一种确定方法

动脉无载荷状态下存在残余应力,分析血管壁在载荷状态下的应力分布必须计及血管壁的残余应力。本文通过检测动脉不同轴向伸长比条件下的压力—容积(p—V)数据,根据其p—V实验曲线的“S”型特征,提出了一种用反正切函数关系对试验数据点进行拟合,进而导得动脉管壁周向残余应力沿壁厚分布的方法。文章对10只正常大鼠颈动脉的分析结果表明,大鼠颈动脉周向残余应力沿血管壁厚呈单调上升趋势。残余应力在内壁处为负呈压缩状态,在外壁处为正呈拉伸状态,并且内外壁处应力绝对值大小基本相等,大约在2．5kPa左右。文章结果对进一步分析动脉管壁在载荷作用下的应力分布提供必要的信息。     

Solutions of the integral equations for shearing stresses in two-material curved beams

In the same way as shearing stresses for curved beams made of one material, the problem of evaluating the shearing stresses of composite curved beams is also reduced to one of solving the integral equations. Solving directly two integral equations can derive the formulae of shearing stresses, which satisfy not only the equilibrium equations but also the static boundary conditions on the boundary surfaces of the beams. The present analysis will be used to investigate the shearing stresses of a cantilevered curved beam made of two materials, which is loaded by a concentrated force at its free end. The comparison between the numerical results of shearing stresses obtained using the equations developed in this paper and a three-dimensional finite element analysis shows excellent agreement.     

Stress distributions and stress intensity factors in ceramic roller bearing rings

A method is presented which allows to compute the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of a ceramic roller bearing ring with a surface flaw. First, the stresses due to mechanical loads applied to the surfaces of the undamaged ring are computed, using Michell's expression for Airy's stress function in polar coordinates ([l]). Second, the stress intensity factors of the flaw are obtained using Tada's additivity principle ([2]), namely by integration of the point force solution for the SIF of a surface crack with the aforementioned stresses as input parameter. To illustrate the procedure, the special case of a ring with a surface flaw which is loaded by six equidistantly spaced cylindrical rollers will be studied numerically.     

A Discrete Algorithm of Integrated Photoelasticity for Axisymmetric Problems

By measuring stresses in cylinders with no stress gradient in axial direction, the cross-section of the cylinder may be considered as consisting of concentric rings in each of which the stresses are constant. Axial stress distribution in the cylinder is determined stepwise starting with the outermost ring (the so-called onion-peeling method). This paper generalizes the onion-peeling method for the case of axisymmetric stress distributions when stress gradient in the axial direction is present. Measurement of the integrated isoclinic and optical retardation is carried out in two parallel sections which are perpendicular to the specimen axis, Δz apart from each other. The distributions of the axial stress and shear stress are determined directly from the measurement data, using linear approximation of integrated photoelasticity. Other stress components are determined using the equilibrium equation and the compatibility equation (if stresses are due to external loads) or using the generalized sum rule (if residual stresses in glass are measured). The method is less sensitive to measurement errors than the Abel inversion. In comparison with the polynomial approximation of the stress distributions, the onion-peeling method gives more adequate results if stress distribution is not smooth. The paper is illustrated with several applications.     

考虑接触应力非线性分布的接触力元模式及其验证分析

在作者提出的非连续变形计算力学模型中,采用接触力元模型描述多体接触界面上的接触特性．由于这种模型中假定接触应力沿接触界面为线性分布,从而得到的接触界面应力分布往往出现跳跃等非光滑性特征,该文对此进行了改进,采用具有高阶光滑性的非线性函数建立了能够考虑界面上接触应力非线性分布的接触力元模式,以期合理地揭示多体系统中界面的接触特性．对某一典型算例进行了数值计算,通过与大型通用非线性有限元结构分析软件ABASQUS的计算结果对比,验证了所建议计算模型的合理性与有效性．两种方法计算得到的界面接触对上的接触力基本相同;而由于采用的应力分布模式的假定不同,接触应力有所差别,由于在该文计算模型中接触对上的接触应力是按照未知量直接求得的,因此按照所建议的非线性接触力元模式所得到的接触应力更为合理．     

Automated Stress Separation Along Stress Trajectories

A procedure for the separation of principal stresses in automated photoelasticity is presented. It is based on the integration of indefinite equations of equilibrium along stress trajectories, also known as Lamè–Maxwell equations. A new algorithm for precise and reliable stress trajectory calculation, which is an essential feature of the procedure, has also been developed. Automated stress separation is carried out along stress trajectories starting from free boundaries. Experimental tests were performed on a disc in diametral compression and on a ring with internally applied pressure. Full-field principal stress values were obtained and results were compared with those from the theory of elasticity and with those obtained from the classical shear difference method. It was shown that the proposed method is more accurate and less affected by the presence of residual stresses or experimental errors at the boundaries than the shear difference method. In addition, the method requires little human interaction and is therefore well-suited for automated photoelasticity.     

2D FE–DEM analysis of contact stress and tractive performance of a tire driven on dry sand

Normal and tangential stresses acting over a contact interface of a tire driven on dry sand were investigated to expand the applicability of our model incorporating 2D FE–DEM with proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control. A simple averaging method for contact reaction was introduced: computational segments were defined over the lower half part of the tire circumference that translates without rotation with the tire; then the contact stresses were calculated segment by segment. For the analysis, it was assumed that the tire was in rigid contact mode and that it would travel on the model sand terrain in stationary condition. The integration of normal and tangential contact stresses with respect to the angle of rotation was then applied to calculate the vertical contact load, gross tractive effort, net traction, and running resistance of the tire by parametric (or semi-empirical) analysis. The result of tractive performance obtained through the parametric analysis was found to be similar to the result of tractive performance obtained directly using FE–DEM analysis. A forward shift of the consistent angle of rotation for maximum normal contact stress and that for maximum tangential contact stress with the increase of slip from 22% was also observed in the FE–DEM result.     

A coated rigid elliptical inclusion loaded by a couple in the presence of uniform interfacial and hoop stresses

We consider a confocally coated rigid elliptical inclusion, loaded by a couple and introduced into a remote uniform stress field. We show that uniform interfacial and hoop stresses along the inclusion–coating interface can be achieved when the two remote normal stresses and the remote shear stress each satisfy certain conditions. Our analysis indicates that: (i) the uniform interfacial tangential stress depends only on the area of the inclusion and the moment of the couple; (ii) the rigid-body rotation of the rigid inclusion depends only on the area of the inclusion, the coating thickness, the shear moduli of the composite and the moment of the couple; (iii) for given remote normal stresses and material parameters, the coating thickness and the aspect ratio of the inclusion are required to satisfy a particular relationship; (iv) for prescribed remote shear stress, moment and given material parameters, the coating thickness, the size and aspect ratio of the inclusion are also related. Finally, a harmonic rigid inclusion emerges as a special case if the coating and the matrix have identical elastic properties.     

A General Formulation of Stress Distribution in Cylinders Subjected to Non-Uniform External Pressure

This work presents a two-dimensional stress analysis for elastic solid cylinders subjected to combined loading. The loading is generally formed with a number of concentrated and partially distributed forces all applied radially on the outer surface. The distributed forces cause pressures with non-uniform intensity along the circumferential direction. The cylinder is assumed to be long so that a state of plane-strain is valid. To obtain the stress distribution for the problem of partially distributed forces a new approach is followed first introduced in this paper. It is based on the expressions formed after using the theory of simple radial stress distribution when point-forces are applied on the cylinder and leads to the solution after direct integration. The total stresses due to both concentrated and distributed forces are obtained using the method of superposition. Apart from its simplified formulation, this general solution is always preferable since it proved to have a great advantage. As a result of not containing Fourier series, it eliminates some problems of convergence of the series at the boundaries that appear due to the Gibbs phenomena when the boundary conditions are a discontinuous function. Numerical results are presented for some interesting cases of loading conditions. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

THE ANALYSIS OF INTERLAMINAR STRESSES FOR COMPOSITE LAMINATED SHALLOW SHELLS WITH INTERFACIAL DAMAGE

Based on the general six-degrees-of-freedom plate theory towards the accurate stress analysis and nonlinear theory of shallow shells, considering the damage effect of the interlaminar interface and using the variation principle, the three-dimensional non-linear equilibrium differential equations of the laminated shallow shells with interfacial damage are derived. Then, considering a simply supported laminated shallow shell with damage and under normal load, an analytical solution is presented by using finite difference method to obtain the interlaminar stresses. Numerical results show, the stiffness of the shell is weakened, greater absolute values of displacements as well as smaller interlaminar stresses are obtained by interfacial damage. When the interfacial damage is further increased, delamination occurs obviously under normal pulling load and pure shear slip occurs under normal pressure load. The portion of the load undertaken by the two sides of the interface is more different. Different mechanical behaviors are shown in both sides of the interface, and the discontinuation of stresses and displacements takes place in the interface.
