    Research on the Stress Field Measurement Method Based on Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy

    Kai Kang1,*, Zhiyong Wang2,3

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.33, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2025, DOI:10.32604/icces.2025.012678

    Abstract Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) can be utilized to probe internal parameters of dielectric materials, such as the refractive index. Based on the stress-optic law, stress-induced variations in the refractive index enable the calculation of applied stress through measured changes in the refractive index. This paper introduces a THz-TDS-based methodology for stress field measurement. First, a THz-TDS stress field scanning and imaging system was developed, incorporating an amplitude-field imaging method that maps stress distributions using variations in the amplitude of THz pulses. Second, two analytical algorithms were established: a planar stress analysis algorithm based on THz… More >

    Mass-Stiffness Templates for Cubic Structural Elements

    Carlos A. Felippa*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.129, No.3, pp. 1209-1241, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.016803 - 25 November 2021

    Abstract This paper considers Lagrangian finite elements for structural dynamics constructed with cubic displacement shape functions. The method of templates is used to investigate the construction of accurate mass-stiffness pairs. This method introduces free parameters that can be adjusted to customize elements according to accuracy and rank-sufficiency criteria. One- and two-dimensional Lagrangian cubic elements with only translational degrees of freedom (DOF) carry two additional nodes on each side, herein called side nodes or SN. Although usually placed at the third-points, the SN location may be adjusted within geometric limits. The adjustment effect is studied in detail… More >
