Mathematical model normal load

Cracks at, or near, interfaces - The above has considered the aspect of cracks located in bulk material, but a second important case is that of cracks at, or very close to, a bimaterial interface. However, an immediate problem arises namely, that when the joint is subjected to solely tensile loads applied normal to the crack, which is located along or parallel to the interface, then these will induce both tensile and shear stresses around the crack tip. Therefore, both Ku and terms are needed to describe the stress field the subscript i indicating a crack at, or near, the interface. Similarly, an applied pure shear stress will also induce both such terms. However, these Kn and Km terms no longer have the clearly defined physical significance, as for the bulk material case and illustrated in Fig. 7.3. Mathematical modelling has shown [21-27] that, for linear-elastic materials, the local stresses ahead of the crack tip at a bimaterial interface are proportional to ... 

Another possibility of finding relationships between the impact of emissions in a territory and existing emission sources is the use of PLS modeling. For the above discussed case PLS modeling between the data matrix of the pollutant load in territory B and the data vector for the composition of the emitted dust was performed according to the mathematical basis described in Section 5.7.2. The elemental compositions both of the emitted dust and the impact of emissions were normalized to their concentrations, thus giving a uniform data basis. 

Derivations for almost all analytical models for FRP strengthened flexural members are based on the typical schematic FBDs of Fig. 10.14. This particular case represents a differential segment of an FRP strengthened beam under uniformly distributed load, and the bending stiffness of the FRP laminate is assumed to be much smaller than that of the beam to be strengthened. Forces, moments and stresses acting on these basic FBDs reflect the individual assumptions preset for any analysis. The interfacial adhesive shear and normal stress are denoted by t x) and a(x), respectively. Equation [10.19] is the mathematical representation of the basic definition of shear stress t(x) in the adhesive layer, which is directly related to the difference in longitudinal deformation between the FRP laminate at its interface with the adhesive and the beam s soffit.
