Critical Plane Theory

Once the critical plane is determined the criterion can be written as 

This dependence is graphically shown in Fig. 9.15 [29]. Matake [30] simplified the Findley hypothesis 9.48 assuming as critical plane that on which the shear stress amplitude reached the maximum value 

The Matake criterion can be written as the Findley criterion given by Eq. (9.49). The two parameters k and X can be determined, then, applying a fully reversed torsion load, TaC / c c) = V without any static stress, (TmaA l cSc) = 0, and a fully reversed bending load, and yield 

The Brown and Miller model has a major drawback in that two micro-cracks having the same and Ae may have different fatigue hves if one is opened in traction and the other is closed in compression due to the mean load effect. Therefore, Fatemi and Socie [32] suggested replacing AsJ2 with the maximum stress A 7 maJ normal to the plane of maximum shear strain 

The maximum normal stress J max has been normalized to the yield strength (Ty to maintain the dimensionless feature of strain. Combining Eq. (9.58) with the Manson and Cofhn Eq. (6.10) it yields

The validity of single-shear-plane metal cutting theories is being questioned as a result of recent advances in computational mechanics. Astakhov and coworkers [1-3] are justly critical of single-shear-plane theories developed in the 1940s that describe the mechanics of metal cutting at the macroscale. In response to Astakhov s [3] comments that the previous theories do not apply to certain machining operations, the authors of this chapter have conducted a series of finite element analyses... 

The theory and appHcation of SF BDV and COV have been studied in both uniform and nonuniform electric fields (37). The ionization potentials of SFg and electron attachment coefficients are the basis for one set of correlation equations. A critical field exists at 89 kV/ (cmkPa) above which coronas can appear. Relative field uniformity is characterized in terms of electrode radii of curvature. Peak voltages up to 100 kV can be sustained. A second BDV analysis (38) also uses electrode radii of curvature in rod-plane data at 60 Hz, and can be used to correlate results up to 150 kV. With d-c voltages (39), a similarity rule can be used to treat BDV in fields up to 500 kV/cm at pressures of 101—709 kPa (1—7 atm). It relates field strength, SF pressure, and electrode radii to coaxial electrodes having 2.5-cm gaps. At elevated pressures and large electrode areas, a faH-off from this rule appears. The BDV properties ofHquid SF are described in thehterature (40—41). 

From the family of AG (P, T) curves the projection on the (P, T) plane of the critical lines corresponding to the UCFT for these latexes can be calculated and this is shown plotted in Figure 4. It can be seen that the UCFT curve is linear over the pressure range studied. The slope of the theoretical projection is 0.38 which is smaller than the experimental data line. Agreement between theory and experiment could be improved by relaxing the condition that v = it = 0 in Equation 6 and/or by allowing x to be an adjustable parameter. However, since the main features of the experimental data can be qualitatively predicted by theory, this option is not pursued here. It is apparent from the data presented that the free volume dissimilarity between the steric stabilizer and the dispersion medium plays an important role in the colloidal stabilization of sterically stabilized nonaqueous dispersions. 

When a similar theory (which appears objectionable to the present reviewer also on other grounds) was applied to the formation of ice in water droplets160), the critical nucleus < was > assumed to be a hexagonal prism of height equal to the short diameter . No capillary pressure acts across plane faces of a prism. Nevertheless the author found a value (for the 7s] of water - ice) near 20 erg/cmz for drops of about 0.002 cm in diameter at —37 °C. 

For the Eikonal theory to be valid, the distortions must be suffieiently small that the eoneept of a ray is retained. The criterion is that the radius of curvature of the reflecting planes does not exceed a critical value R. approximately equivalent to an angular rotation of the Bragg planes by half the reflecting curve width in an extinction distance. The critical radius of curvature is thus... 

According to the potential theory the volume V, defined by the adsorbent s surface and the equipotential plane , can contain adsorbate in three different conditions depending upon the temperature. Above the critical temperature the adsorbate can not be liquified and the gas in the adsorption volume V simply becomes more dense near the surface. At temperatures near, but less than the critical temperature, the adsorbate is viewed as a liquid near the surface and a vapor of decreasing density away from the surface. Substantially below the critical temperature... 

Second, there is a line of charge-ordering in the T -p plane, where the charge-charge correlation function begins to oscillate. This line, as established from GDH theory, passes close to the critical point and may generate a virtual tricritical state. A charge-density wave scenario also arises from r-dependent cavity interactions. 

The theoretical grounds for existence of 2D-SIT which was suggested in [9, 10] appealed to the boson-vortex duality model. It considered the superconducting phase as a condensate of Cooper pairs with localized vortices and the insulating phase as a condensate of vortices with localized Cooper pairs. The theory described only vicinity of the SIT and predicted existence of some critical region on the (T, B)-plane where the behavior of the system was... 

In conclusion of our short excursion into the qualitative theory of differential equations, we shall discussed the often-used term "bifurcation . It is ascribed to the systems depending on some parameter and is applied to point to a fundamental reconstruction of phase portrait when a given parameter attains its critical value. The simplest examples of bifurcation are the appearance of a new singular point in the phase plane, its loss of stability, the appearance (birth) of a limit cycle, etc. Typical cases on the plane have been discussed in detail in refs. [11, 12, and 14]. For higher dimensions, no such studies have been carried out (and we doubt the possibility of this). 

The most common failure criterion for granular materials is the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. Mohr introduced his theory for rupture in materials in 1910. According to his theory, the material fails along a plane only when a critical combination of normal and shear stresses exists on the failure plane. This critical combination, known as the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, is given by... 

Experimentally, we can introduce a built-in strain in an epitaxial layer by growing it on a lattice mismatched substrate. As long as the mismatched epitaxial layer is below the critical thickness, the produced strain is uniform and no dislocations are induced. As a result, the in-plane lattice constant of the epitaxial layer is fitted to that of the substrate, and the out-of plane lattice constant is adjusted to a new lattice constant according to the Hook law. Then, the subband structure is modified by introducing a built-in strain, and the strain has a dramatic influence on the electronic properties of the system. Theoretically, we can easily include the strain effect in the k.p theory. 

The research of Roy Jackson combines theory and experiment in a distinctive fashion. First, the theory incorporates, in a simple manner, inertial collisions through relations based on kinetic theory, contact friction via the classical treatment of Coulomb, and, in some cases, momentum exchange with the gas. The critical feature is a conservation equation for the pseudo-thermal temperature, the microscopic variable characterizing the state of the particle phase. Second, each of the basic flows relevant to processes or laboratory tests, such as plane shear, chutes, standpipes, hoppers, and transport lines, is addressed and the flow regimes and multiple steady states arising from the nonlinearities (Fig. 6) are explored in detail. Third, the experiments are scaled to explore appropriate ranges of parameter space and observe the multiple steady states (Fig. 7). One of the more striking results is the...
