Transition to Plasticity in Continuum‐Atomistic Modelling

R. Sunyk, P. Steinmann

Continuum‐atomistic modeling denotes a mixed approach combining the usual framework of continuum mechanics with atomistic features like e.g. interaction potentials. Thereby, the…

Dynamic Analysis of a Hub‐Beam System by a First‐Order Approximation Coupling Model

Guo‐Ping Cai, Jia‐Zhen Hong

In this paper, a first‐order approximation coupling (FOAC) model is investigated to analyze the dynamics of the hub‐beam system, which is based on the Hamilton theory and the…

Damage Mechanics Modeling of Concurrent Thermal and Vibration Loading on Electronics Packaging

Juan Gomez, Minghui Lin, Cemal Basaran

The problem of concurrent thermal and vibration loading has not been thoroughly studied even though it is common in electronic packaging applications. Here we attempt to address…

Multi‐Scale Analysis Method for Thermal Conductivity of Porous Material with Radiation

Shutian Liu, Yongcun Zhang

In this paper, a homogenization‐based multi‐scale method for predicting the effective thermal conductivity of porous materials with radiation is presented, which considers the…

The Dynamic Stability of Cylindrical Shells with Variable Geometric and Mechanical Parameters

A.H. Sofiyev, F. Birinci, Al. H Sofiyev, E. Yusufoglu

The dynamic stability of orthotropic cylindrical thin shells of exponentially variable geometric and mechanical parameters is studied by using Galerkin and Ritz type variotional…

The Simulation Study of the Effect of Single and Double Gated Molds on Pressure and Temperature in Injection Molding of Polymeric Composite Clutch Pedals

S.S.S. Imihezri, S.M. Sapuan, S. Sulaiman, M.M. Hamdan, E.S. Zainudin

This paper presents the simulation results of a glass fiber reinforced PA 6,6 composite automotive clutch pedal. The analysis is carried out using Moldflow Plastics Insight (MPI…
