The study is devoted to geometrically non-linear modelling of viscoplastic structures with residual stresses. We advocate and develop a special approach to residual stresses based on the transition between reference configurations. The finite strain kinematics of the viscoplastic material is modelled by the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient tensor. Numerical algorithms originally developed for unstressed materials are extended to materials with pre-stresses. Owing to the weak invariance of constitutive equations, the incorporation of pre-stresses happens without additional costs. Thus, the advocated approach is especially efficient. A novel experimental/theoretical method for assessment of residual stresses in welded structures is presented; the method combines advantages of purely experimental and theoretical approaches. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed procedure, we simulate plate welding. As an example we show that the procedure allows to extrapolate the filed of residual stresses away from the measurement points. As another example, we address the reduction of weldment-related residual stresses by mechanical treatment.
The history dependence of the glasses formed from flow-melted steady states by a sudden cessation of the shear rate $dotgamma$ is studied in colloidal suspensions, by molecular dynamics simulations, and mode-coupling theory. In an ideal glass, stress
Ultraviolet-photoemission (UPS) measurements and supporting specific-heat, thermal-expansion, resistivity and magnetic-moment measurements are reported for the magnetic shape-memory alloy Ni$_2$MnGa over the temperature range $100K < T < 250K$. All m
The incorporation of Eu into the diamond lattice is investigated in a combined theoretical-experimental study. The large size of the Eu ion induces a strain on the host lattice, which is minimal for the Eu-vacancy complex. The oxidation state of Eu i
The effects of rhenium doping in the range 0 to 10 atomic percent on the static and dynamic magnetic properties of Fe65Co35 thin films have been studied experimentally as well as with first principles electronic structure calculations focusing on the
The defect chemistry of perovskite compounds is directly related to the stoichiometry and to the valence states of the transition metal ions. Such relations are of high interest as they offer the possibility to influence the catalytic activity of per
