Buckle theory

Euler buckling theory predicts collapse at a constant force. However, finite element analysis (FEA) shows that the onset of buckling causes the load bearing capacity to decrease (Fig. 8.8). At high axial deflections, plastic hinges develop at mid-length and the ends of these slender struts.

Mercury porosimetry (or intrusion) Measurement of the specific porous volume and of the pore size distribution function by applying a continuous increasing pressure oti liquid mercury such that an immersed or submerged porous solid is penetrated by mercury. If the porous body can withstand the pressure without fracture the Washburn equation, relating capillary pressure to capiUaiy diameter allows converting the pressure penetration curves into a size distribution curve. If a sample is contracted without mercury intrusion, a specific mechanical model based on the buckling theory must be used... 

For present purposes, it is assumed that, upon buckle formation, the transverse deflection of the film midplane is equal to the normal surface displacement of the substrate, a reasonable approximation in light of the thinness of the film. Furthermore, it is assumed that the in-plane displacement component of the film midplane from its initial uniformly stressed configuration is zero. This assumption is also reasonable for a thin film, provided that the deflections are not large. Buckling theories of this kind have been considered in the context of geological folding by Biot (1965), lay-...

Flame Cleaning Now little used as a preparatory method, flame cleaning is a process whereby an intensely hot oxyacetylene flame is played on the surface of the steel. In theory, differential expansion causes millscale to detach. In practice, there is evidence that the treatment may not remove thin, tightly adhering millscale. Also, steel less them 5 mm thick can buckle. Finally, the process can burn in chemicals deposited on the surface, causing premature paint failure. 

In many cases, a product fails when the material begins to yield plastically. In a few cases, one may tolerate a small dimensional change and permit a static load that exceeds the yield strength. Actual fracture at the ultimate strength of the material would then constitute failure. The criterion for failure may be based on normal or shear stress in either case. Impact, creep and fatigue failures are the most common mode of failures. Other modes of failure include excessive elastic deflection or buckling. The actual failure mechanism may be quite complicated each failure theory is only an attempt to explain the failure mechanism for a given class of materials. In each case a safety factor is employed to eliminate failure. 

Micromechanics theories for closed cell foams are less well advanced for than those for open cell foams. The elastic moduli of the closed-cell Kelvin foam were obtained by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by Kraynik and co-workers (a. 14), and the high strain compressive response predicted by Mills and Zhu (a. 15). The Young s moduli predicted by the Kraynik model, which assumes the cell faces remain flat, lie above the experimental data (Figure 7), while those predicted by the Mills and Zhu model, which assumes that inplane compressive stresses will buckle faces, lie beneath the data. The experimental data is closer to the Mills and Zhu model at low densities, but closer to the Kraynik theory at high foam densities. 

Figure 1 shows a representative force deformation characteristic as obtained from the measurements of a capsule made from PAH/PSS in water. The dried thickness of the capsule was 25 nm and the radius 7.9 microns. For deformations on the order of 1-3 times the shell wall thickness, a linear force deformation characteristic is found. For higher deformations discontinuities in the force deformation characteristic are observed, which are separating quasi-linear sections. The position of these discontinuities as well as their shapes scattered a lot between different shells and the shells showed plasticity in this deformation regime. We avoided this regime in the measurements and obtained the results exclusively from a detailed analysis of the linear regime. Based on classical thin shell theory [20], one would expect a linear force deformation characteristic for deformations up to a few times the wall thickness (fit indicated as dotted line). The onset of buckling should lead to a deviation from the linear dependency, like dis-... 

In a solid beam, the compressive and tensile stresses are not confined to the surfaces. The compressive stress in a section is highest at the upper surface and gradually diminishes to zero at the neutral plane. Similarly, the tensile stress is highest on the lower surface and diminishes to zero at the neutral plane (Figure 10.6a). While the beam deforms elastically, the compressive and tensile stresses increase proportionately with distance from the neutral plane. The compressive stress at a distance, d, above the neutral plane will be the same as the tensile stress at a distance, d, below the neutral plane. Further, as the modulus of elasticity is the same in compression and tension, the strain at both positions will be similar. Simple beam theory assumes that the beam behaves elastically until failure. However, the limit of proportionality in compression is quite low and once exceeded the fibres near the upper surface will start to buckle, crash, and strain at a greater rate while...
