In this article strain analysis on defected plate has been studied by the digital shearography method along with a new technique for phase map measurement. For this purpose, an optical set-up known as modified Michelson interferometry system with two diode lasers were developed which are used as coherent optical source. To create phase shifting a piezo-electrical ceramic was used to miniature displacements of interferometry. Phase shifting technique was used to measure phases and differences between the phases.<br />The strain was measured using the experimental method and compared with numerical analysis results. Behavior of two graphs of experimental measurement and numerical analysis was approximately the same.<br /><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />https://jrstan.basu.ac.ir/article_1907_f51c71629bee0f8875f239c5be8867a5.pdfBu-Ali Sina UniversityJournal of Stress Analysis2588-25971120160901Creep Analysis of the FGM Cylinder under Steady-state Symmetric Loading921190810.22084/jsa.2017.11195.1003ENN.HabibiMechanical Engineering Department, University of Kurdistan, Iran.S.SamawatiMechanical Engineering Department, Khajeh Nasir Toosi University of Technology, Iran.O.AhmadiMechanical Engineering Department, Urmia University, Iran.Journal Article20160426In this paper, a semi-analytical method for creep investigation and elastic behavior of FGM rotary cylinders has been introduced. Assumed cylinder was divided to numerous finite width layers with constant thermodynamic properties in each layer. Governing equations converted to ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients by applying continuity conditions between layers and boundary conditions of disc in derived equations, then these equations could be solved by a prepared computer code. For thermo-elastic part, variation of dimensionless radial and circumferential strains versus dimensionless radius investigated for several power of FGM material. Also, verification of results was done. For creep part, variation of dimensionless radial and circumferential strain rates versus dimensionless radius was studied for different temperatures and limited timeframe. Changes of radial and circumferential strain rates versus radius were investigated and the results were validated. Finally, the effects of various parameters on creep behavior of rotary cylinder in several examples was examined.<br /><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />https://jrstan.basu.ac.ir/article_1908_8295afe3dbdb661411a07e7eec3d82db.pdfBu-Ali Sina UniversityJournal of Stress Analysis2588-25971120160901Elasticity Solution for Static Analysis of Sandwich Structures with Sinusoidal Corrugated Cores2331190910.22084/jsa.2017.11287.1006ENM.ShabanMechanical Engineering Department, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamadan, Iran.Journal Article20160506Metal sandwich panels are three-dimensional structures widely used in industries mainly due to two distinct properties: low density and high strength. Although significant efforts have been made at research into corrugated sandwich panels, analytical solutions are still very few. This work wishes to present accurate analytical results of static analysis of corrugated sandwich panels. In order to determine equivalent properties of corrugated core in the thickness direction, energy method is used in conjunction with homogenization approach. Based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity, partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations by using the Fourier series. Analytical solutions for the stress and displacement fields are derived by using the state-space method in the thickness direction.<br />A detailed parametric study was conducted involving the dependency of out-of-plane properties on the corrugation geometrical parameters. Moreover, effects of these variables on the stress and displacement fields are discussed.<br /><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />https://jrstan.basu.ac.ir/article_1909_eb99abcf95c4221b4fd44ae58bfde34e.pdfBu-Ali Sina UniversityJournal of Stress Analysis2588-25971120160901Finite Element Analysis of a New Specimen for Conducting Fracture Tests under Mixed Mode I/III Loading3341191010.22084/jsa.2017.11600.1008ENS.PirmohammadMechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran.A.BayatMechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran.Journal Article20160610<span>In this paper, a new disc-shaped specimen containing a tilted crack was <span>proposed so as to conduct fracture tests under mixed mode I/III loading. <span>This specimen was able to produce complete mode mixities, ranging from <span>pure mode I to pure mode III. Many finite element analyses were performed <span>to obtain crack parameters (i.e. stress intensity factors at the crack tip) and <span>geometry factors. It was shown that the mode III was added to the mode I <span>loading as the crack angle changed.
