Sometimes referred to as the modulus of elasticity, Young's modulus is equal to the longitudinal stress divided by the strain.
This paper analyzes the effect of longitudinal stress gradient on the ultimate strength of thin plates.
Nature of longitudinal stress is observed to change when inserted fraction of nanowires is changed.
In cold strip rolling, the transverse gradient of thickness strain results in heterogeneous longitudinal stress σxx.
Nonlinear finite element analysis (ABAQUS) was performed to determine the ultimate strength of thin plates under a longitudinal stress gradient.
These two cases illustrate the influence of longitudinal stress gradient on stiffened and unstiffened elements of cold-formed steel sections, respectively.
The results indicate that the longitudinal stress gradient increases the strength of both types of thin plates, but has significantly more influence on unstiffened elements than stiffened elements.
Finally, analytical solutions for the longitudinal stress distributions of the steel tube and filled concrete are provided for a better understanding of the tension-stiffening effect.
The model consists of four bars, representing the longitudinal stress fibers and lateral actin network, and eight strings, denoting the microfilaments.
Following this, profiles of circumferential stretch, radial stress, circumferential stress and longitudinal stress as a function of radial direction are plotted for different values of n.
When thin-walled sections are subjected to a moment gradient, the plates that comprise the section are themselves subjected to a longitudinal stress gradient.
