Measurement of coherent pion-photoproduction on the 3He/3H isodoublet

Neutral and charged pion-photo production on ${}^3\text{H}$ and ${}^3\text{He}$ nuclei have been observed in the Δ(1232) resonance region. Resonance averaged cross-sections are presented as functions of momentum transfer.     

Studies in the synthesis of 7,8-benzo[5]metacyclophane

Compound 5 reacted with silver perchlorate in anhydrous benzene to give 3a and in wet acetone to give a mixture of 9 and 10; treatment of 9 with potassium t-butoxide in dimethyl sulphoxide gave 11.     

Anisotropic multiplicative elastoplasticity for the prediction of earings in sheet forming

In this work, the simulation of earings in cup drawing by means of a recently developed anisotropic combined hardening material model is discussed. The model represents a multiplicative formulation of anisotropic elastoplasticity in the finite strain regime with nonlinear kinematic and isotropic hardening. Plastic anisotropy is described by the use of second-order structure tensors as additional arguments in the representation of the yield function and the plastic flow rule. The evolution equations are integrated by a form of the exponential map that preserves the plastic volume and the symmetry of the internal variables. Finite element simulations of cylindrical cup drawing processes are performed by means of ABAQUS/Standard where the discussed material model has been implemented into a user-defined reduced integration solid-shell element.

FE Modelling of NiTi‐Composed Structures

The present contribution focuses on the finite element modelling of NiTi‐based shape memory alloys. For this purpose, the concept of Helm [1] has been further developed and implemented into a finite element formulation. The model is able to describe the multiaxial behaviour of SMA and therefore useful for the simulation of complex problems. Additional emphasis is put on the modelling of the shape memory effect in composites where the interaction between the alloy and other materials like e.g. polymers plays an important role.
