Tests in tension-torsion conditions with descending sections of strain curve construction
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 24
Abstract
The paper is devoted to theoretical and experimental investigation of materials behavior on postcritical deformation stage (strain softening). Tests results, which confirm theoretical justification of specimen configuration impact on the possibility of creating descending sections of strain curve, are given. It is shown that, with sufficient stiffness of loading system, equilibrium postcritical deformation of materials is possible. It is confirmed in uniaxial tension tests with unloading on postcritical deformation stage. Test results on tension with torsion of thin-walled tubular specimens in strain softening conditions are adduced.

A numerical study of squeeze-film damping in MEMS-based structures including rarefaction effects
In a variety of MEMS applications, the thin film of fluid responsible of squeeze-film damping results to be rarefied and, thus, not suitable to be modeled though the classical Navier-Stokes equation. The simplest w...
On the use of the Theory of Critical Distances to estimate the dynamic strength of notched 6063-T5 aluminium alloy
In this paper the so-called Theory of Critical Distances is reformulated to make it suitable for estimating the strength of notched metals subjected to dynamic loading. The TCD takes as its starting point the ass...
