The Vibration Response Of Laminated Orthotropic Plates, Max E. Waddoups Jr.
The Vibration Response Of Laminated Orthotropic Plates, Max E. Waddoups Jr.
Theses and Dissertations
The behavior of anisotropic materials has been the object of much recent research® The high strength to weight ratio needed by aerospace structures has necessitated the use of exotic, composite materials which generally exhibit anisotropic behavior® These materials cannot be fully utilized unless analytical techniques are used which take maximum advantage of their anisotropic behavior.
Residual Stress Distribution Changes During Dynamic Unidirectional Tensile Loading, Henry Swan Todd
Residual Stress Distribution Changes During Dynamic Unidirectional Tensile Loading, Henry Swan Todd
Theses and Dissertations
In recent years there has been much engineering effort channeled toward obtaining higher strength, lower weight and cost product designs. In pursuit of this goal some carefully designed and tested parts have catastrophically failed after a long history of repeated successful service, even though the load at the time of failure was no higher than the part had repeatedly carried previously. These mechanical failures are commonly classified as fatigue failures.
Residual Stresses And The Bauschinger Effect, Raymond M. Huebner
Residual Stresses And The Bauschinger Effect, Raymond M. Huebner
Theses and Dissertations
Within the last ten years there has been much interest in the field of elasto-plastic behavior of engineering materials. Hie recent popularity of the low-cost light-weight plastically designed structures has added a great deal of impetus to this interest. This thesis deals with one of the aspects of elasto-plastic behavior, namely, the distribution of the residual stresses in a simple member which has been plastically deformed in tension and/or compression,. In particular, an attempt has been made to relate these residual stresses to the well-known but little understood Bauschinger effect.
