The Structural Mechanics division of K.U.Leuven is organizing the
Eighth European Conference on Structural Dynamics
EURODYN 2011 in Leuven, Belgium, from 4 to 6 July 2011,
in cooperation with the Technical Institute of the Royal Flemish
Society of Engineers (TI KVIV) and the European Association for
Structural Dynamics (EASD).
The EURODYN conferences have developed into one of the key conferences
in structural dynamics. Apart from reflecting the state of the art of
research in structural dynamics, EURODYN 2011 will also address
industrial developments and applications.

How to use ansys to model the tangential deformation of a rotating blade.

Submitted by julie liu on

Ask iMechanica

Dear all,

I have one question here. A blade is mounting on a rigid disk's outer rim. The disk is rotating at a variable angular speed. The system is  used to model a turbine wheel with a blade mounted on it when the engine is ramping up or shuttng down.

The thing I want to calculate is the blade tip deformation in tangential direction during this engine ramp up -steady state -shut down process. Does anybody know how to use ANSYS to model it?

Symposium on Multi-physics of Materials and Interfaces @ USNCTAM 2010

Submitted by Aman Haque on

Dear Colleagues:

As a part of the 16th US National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics conference (from June 27 to July 2, 2010 at Penn State University), we are organizing a symposium on the multi-physics, or the coupling among physical domains (thermal, electrical, mechanical, magnetic, optical, chemical to name a few).

A Geometric Theory of Thermal Stresses

In this paper we formulate a geometric theory of thermal stresses.

Given a temperature distribution, we associate a Riemannian

material manifold to the body, with a metric that explicitly

depends on the temperature distribution. A change of temperature

corresponds to a change of the material metric. In this sense, a

temperature change is a concrete example of the so-called

referential evolutions. We also make a concrete connection between

our geometric point of view and the multiplicative decomposition

Fatigue
experimental data

Can anyone help point me to publicly-available fatigue or fracture test data? I am interested in obtaining a variety of data for statistical processing. It seems many authors have used the data collected by Virkler and Hillberry which seems to be widely used, but I have not found raw data for their tests so far; is this data available somewhere for me to use? Any help is very appreciated.
