The Analysis Of An Axially Symmetric Submerged Membrane Shell, Walter Earl Wehmeyer
The Analysis Of An Axially Symmetric Submerged Membrane Shell, Walter Earl Wehmeyer
Masters Theses
"The general theory of large elastic deformations is applied to the problem of a liquid-filled, axisymmetric membrane which is supported on a rigid horizontal plane and subjected to a variable external pressure. The variable external pressure is caused by submerging the membrane to various depths. The variation of the hydrostatic pressure in the inflating medium as well as in the surrounding environment is considered. By assuming large meridional deformations the stress field and the deformed shapes of a submerged membrane made of a neo-Hookean material are obtained. The effect of the initial shape on the deformed configuration of the membrane …
A Study Of The Effect Of Drilled Holes On The Concentration Of Elastic Stresses Around A Notch, Glenn Michael Kmecz
A Study Of The Effect Of Drilled Holes On The Concentration Of Elastic Stresses Around A Notch, Glenn Michael Kmecz
Masters Theses
"Hole drilling as a method for improving the toughness of notch weakened tensile specimens is investigated by means of a photoelastic technique. Tests were performed on 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% notch depth specimens machined from PSM-1 photoelastic material. The basic criteria for success was no increase in the elastic stress concentration factor. The photoelastic results were verified by a finite element stress analysis of the 60% notch depth specimens. Comparison of the experimental and numerical results provide conclusive proof that no increase in the elastic stress concentration factor occurs when proper positioning of the drilled holes is accomplished"--Abstract, page …
A Comparison Of Analytical And Experimental Approaches In Determining The Thermoelastic Stresses Around A Cylindrical Inclusion Of Elliptical Cross-Section, Kenneth Byron Oster
A Comparison Of Analytical And Experimental Approaches In Determining The Thermoelastic Stresses Around A Cylindrical Inclusion Of Elliptical Cross-Section, Kenneth Byron Oster
Masters Theses
"Three approaches are used to determine the principal stress differences in an infinite elastic medium containing a cylindrical inclusion of elliptic cross-section due to a uniform temperature change. First, the two-dimensional equations of thermoelasticity are solved resulting in equations for the stress components anywhere in the medium material. Second, boundary displacements based on stress-strain relations are used as input displacements in a finite element program of the medium. Third, these same boundary displacements are used as input displacements on a photoelastic model simulating the medium. The problem is treated as one of plane strain in the first approach and one …
