Properties and applications of Magnetorheological fluids
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 23
Abstract
This brief introduction describes the mechanical, rheological and magnetic properties of the magnetorheological (MR) fluids for feasible engineering applications. The typical modes of exploiting this technology are shown and discussed. An increasing number of industrial applications illustrate how the MR fluids peculiar properties may be used to provide optimal performance in semi active damping and dissipative devices.

New experimental techniques for fracture testing of highly deformable materials
A new experimental method for measuring strain fields in highly deformable materials has been developed. This technique is based on an in-house developed Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system capable of accu...
Effect of flexural crack on plain concrete beam failure mechanism A numerical simulation
The flexural failure of plain concrete beam occurs along with development of flexural crack on beam. In this paper by using ABAQUS, mechanism failure of plain concrete beam under three steps have been simulat...
Modeling of edge cracks interaction
From experimental and theoretical investigations it is known that cracks are sensitive to geometry, e.g., to the inclination angle to the load. A small deviation of a crack from the normal direction to a tensile l...
Gradient-enriched linear-elastic tip stresses to perform the highcycle fatigue assessment of notched plain concrete
Gradient Elasticity (GE) allows the stress analysis to be performed by taking into account the size of the dominant source of microstructural heterogeneity via a suitable length scale parameter. This is done by s...
Experimental investigation on possible dependence of plastic zone size on specimen geometry
In this investigation the extent of the plastic zone size ahead of a crack-tip in single edge notched tension (SENT), compact tension (CT) specimens has been examined experimentally by micro-hardness technique and by ela...
