Based on the analytical calculation, experiment inspection and finite element analysis, this paper is focus on the paper honeycomb core layer with double-hole in cell walls, and especially studies the bending and folding deformation and the compressive strength under out-of-plane quasi-static compression for different humidity. The structure first appears elastic buckling and folds near the circular holes in the cell wall, and goes on buckling, folding and crushing until to the densification with the continuously increase of compression set. Its quasi-static compressive stress and strain curve mainly shows four kinds of compression deformation processes, such as linear elastic stage, elastic yielding stage, plastic collapse stage, and densification stage. The critical stress and plateau stress of the structure slowly decrease with the increase of humidity and aperture, and the multiple linear regression analysis result illustrates that the relative humidity has much more influence on the critical stress and plateau stress. For different humidity and aperture, the analytical calculation result is close to the experiment result. However, the finite element simulation result greatly deviates from the above two results, especially for relative humidity 50% and 60% cases.","PeriodicalId":50038,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135540443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the semi-empirical model is widely used in practice because of its simplicity, but it is difficult to uniformly model the mean stress effect of a wide range of materials and loading conditions. To address this issue, a multiaxial fatigue life prediction model based on critical plane theory and machine learning is proposed in this work. Through the multi-layer stacking mechanism, the model comprehensively utilizes domain knowledge and original data information, and integrates the advantages of different models in capturing data and utilizing features.

The truncated series then implies that the beam deflection approximately satisfies an ordinary differential equation of the type developed by Kerr in the context of more general elastic foundation models, but the expansion process provides a convenient criterion for determining the range of length scales in which the ODE can be expected to be accurate. The method is illustrated for the problem of a beam loaded only by contact with an indenting body and/or with end supports – in particular, for the case of two contacting cantilever beams, for which the analytical results show good agreement with a finite element solution, except for the asymptotic region near edge of contact.","PeriodicalId":50038,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136262249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from strain gauges were used to detect the projectile’s arrival time at different locations in the barrel and computed projectile velocity and acceleration as a function of projectile position. Finally, acceleration data was used to calculate the pressure behind the projectile. Results were verified using alternative experimental and simulation techniques on two different barrels with different ammunition.

Additionally, the design of high quality-factor micro/nano-resonators requires accurate estimation of their thermoelastic damping. However, the classical thermoelastic damping models fail at the micro/nano-scale due to the influences of the size-dependent effects related to heat transfer and elastic deformation. This work aims to investigate the influences of the size-dependent effects on the thermoelastic damping of functionally graded sandwich micro-beam resonators by combining the nonlocal dual-phase-lag heat conduction model and the nonlocal elasticity model. It is assumed that the functionally graded sandwich micro-beam resonators consist of a ceramic core and functionally graded surfaces. The energy equation and the transverse motion equation are derived. The analytical expression of thermoelastic damping is obtained by complex frequency method. Numerical results are analyzed for the effects of the thermal nonlocal parameter, the elastic nonlocal parameter, the power-law index, and the vibration modes on the thermoelastic damping of functionally graded sandwich micro-beam resonators. The results show that the thermoelastic damping of functionally graded sandwich micro-beam resonators can be adjusted by the suitably modified parameters, which strongly depends on the double nonlocal effects and the power-law index.","PeriodicalId":50038,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89767522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To validate the general solution, two degenerate cases are presented. Further, the image force present on the screw dislocation due to the wedge free boundary is obtained. It is found that when the screw dislocations are placed in the vicinity of the wedge surface, the image force will drive dislocations to the free boundary where they will be annihilated. This implies that a dislocation-free zone may exist along the free surface of the wedge. To demonstrate the application of the fundamental solutions, a formulation for a slip band under anti-plane loading with Green’s function method is provided.
