It is observed that the inner layer is stiffer than the outer layer. The measured Young's moduli are mostly in the range of 0.2e4.5 GPa, while some values above 80 GPa are also observed. This Keywords: SEI wide variation of the observed elastic modulus is elucidated by atomistic calculations with a focus on Elasticity chemical and structural analysis. The numerical analysis shows the Young's moduli range from 2.4 GPa to Molecular dynamics 58.1 GPa in the order of the polymeric, organic, and amorphous inorganic components. The crystalline AFM inorganic component (LiF) shows the highest value (135.3 GPa) among the SEI species. This quantitative observation on the elasticity of individual components of the SEI layer must be essential to analyzing the mechanical behavior of the SEI layer and to optimizing and controlling it. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

  • Crack Tip Elements and the J Integral
    EN234: Computational methods in Structural and Solid Mechanics Homework 3: Crack tip elements and the J-integral Due Wed Oct 7, 2015 School of Engineering Brown University The purpose of this homework is to help understand how to handle element interpolation functions and integration schemes in more detail, as well as to explore some applications of FEA to fracture mechanics. In this homework you will solve a simple linear elastic fracture mechanics problem. You might find it helpful to review some of the basic ideas and terminology associated with linear elastic fracture mechanics here (in particular, recall the definitions of stress intensity factor and the nature of crack-tip fields in elastic solids). Also check the relations between energy release rate and stress intensities, and the background on the J integral here. 1. One of the challenges in using finite elements to solve a problem with cracks is that the stress field at a crack tip is singular. Standard finite element interpolation functions are designed so that stresses remain finite a everywhere in the element. Various types of special b c ‘crack tip’ elements have been designed that 3L/4 incorporate the singularity. One way to produce a L/4 singularity (the method used in ABAQUS) is to mesh L the region just near the crack tip with 8 noded elements, with a special arrangement of nodal points: (i) Three of the nodes (nodes 1,4 and 8 in the figure) are connected together, and (ii) the mid-side nodes 2 and 7 are moved to the quarter-point location on the element side.

  • Forces, Elasticity, Stress, Strain and Young's Modulus Handout
    Forces, Elasticity, Stress, Strain and Young’s Modulus Forces Exerted on Aortic Valves during Blood Flow When the heart is pumping during systole, blood is forced through the heart and the various vessels associated with blood flow. As the blood exits the left ventricle, it passes through the aortic semilunar valve. The flow of blood, coupled with the mechanical structure of the heart valve, causes the valve to open. Essentially, the flow of blood and the forces associated with it cause the elastin in the ventricularis layer to “relax,” permitting the valve to recoil to the open position. When the valve is open, it experiences laminar flow across the ventricularis layer of the heart valve (see diagram to the right). During diastole, the ventricles relax, allowing the flow of blood to change. During this time, the backflow of blood into the heart applies a force on the aortic semilunar valve and causes it to close. The force that is now exerted on the aortic side of the heart valve (the fibrosa layer of the valve) causes the collagen in that layer to move slightly to reinforce the valve. This rearrangement of the collagen causes the elastin in the ventricularis layer to stretch out some, allowing the three leaflets of the valve to meet in the middle and completely seal the valve and prevent blood regurgitation. This change in blood flow means that the valve is no longer experiencing laminar flow. However, the movement of the blood creates some different currents on the aortic side of the valve (see diagram to the right ); this flow is oscillatory in nature.

The high-pressure elasticity of relevant minerals is of substantial geophysical importance for the Earth’s interior since they relate to (1) velocities of seismic waves and (2) the change in density that occurs when minerals are under pressure. Absence of samples from the deep interior prompts comparisons between seismological observations and the elastic properties of candidate minerals as a way to extract information regarding the composition and mineralogy of the Earth. Implementing a new method for measuring compressional- and shear-wave velocities, Vp and Vs, based on Brillouin spectroscopy of polycrystalline materials at high pressures, I examine four case studies: 1) soda-lime glass, 2) NaCl, 3) MgO, and 4) Kilauea basalt glass. The results on multigrain soda-lime glass show that even with an index differing by 3 percent, an oil medium removes the effects of multiple scattering from the Brillouin spectra of the glass powders; similarly, high-pressure Brillouin spectra from transparent polycrystalline samples should, in many cases, be free from optical-scattering effects.

  • Contact Mechanics
    International Journal of Solids and Structures 37 (2000) 29±43 www.elsevier.com/locate/ijsolstr Contact mechanics J.R. Barber a,*, M. Ciavarella b, 1 aDepartment of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2125, USA bDepartment of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PJ, UK Abstract Contact problems are central to Solid Mechanics, because contact is the principal method of applying loads to a deformable body and the resulting stress concentration is often the most critical point in the body. Contact is characterized by unilateral inequalities, describing the physical impossibility of tensile contact tractions (except under special circumstances) and of material interpenetration. Additional inequalities and/or non-linearities are introduced when friction laws are taken into account. These complex boundary conditions can lead to problems with existence and uniqueness of quasi-static solution and to lack of convergence of numerical algorithms. In frictional problems, there can also be lack of stability, leading to stick±slip motion and frictional vibrations. If the material is non-linear, the solution of contact problems is greatly complicated, but recent work has shown that indentation of a power-law material by a power law punch is self-similar, even in the presence of friction, so that the complete history of loading in such cases can be described by the (usually numerical) solution of a single problem. Real contacting surfaces are rough, leading to the concentration of contact in a cluster of microscopic actual contact areas. This aects the conduction of heat and electricity across the interface as well as the mechanical contact process.

Equilibrium - Definition: An object is in equilibrium if: - The linear momentum of its center of mass is constant. - Its angular momentum about its center of mass is constant. Example: block resting on a table, hockey puck sliding across a frictionless surface with constant velocity, the rotating blades of a ceiling fan, the wheel of a bike traveling across a straight path at constant speed. - Static equilibrium: P = ,0 L = 0 Objects that are not moving either in TRANSLATION or ROTATION Example: block resting on a table .

Unstable static equilibrium: A small force can displace the body and end the equilibrium.
