A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for estimating material properties. Training data comprising results of testing samples for a set of materials over a range of loads applied to the samples is identified by a computer system. A machine learning model is trained by the computer system to output the material properties for materials in structures using the training data.

To further enhance the evaluation accuracy of a delayed fracture. Focusing on the fact that a calculated stress value serving as the reference for the occurrence of the delayed fracture changes depending on analysis conditions of a forming analysis, a value obtained by changing a stress value serving as the reference for the occurrence of the delayed fracture according to the analysis conditions for analyzing an intended formed article (article for practical use) is used as the reference for evaluating the delayed fracture. For example, analysis conditions of a forming analysis in an evaluation test of the delayed fracture are matched with analysis conditions of a forming analysis of an article for practical use represented by an actual automobile component.

An elastic matrix determination method for a laminated iron core, which can optimally determine a shear modulus in two planes including a laminating direction of the laminated iron core included in an elastic matrix in a constitutive equation representing a stress-strain relationship used for vibration analysis, and also provided is a vibration analysis method. When performing a vibration analysis of a laminated iron core formed by laminating steel sheets using a constitutive equation representing a stress-strain relationship in a matrix representation, a shear modulus in two planes including a laminating direction of the laminated iron core included in an elastic matrix in the constitutive equation is determined depending on an average tightening pressure in the laminating direction of the laminated iron core.

Disclosed is an equivalent acceleration method of creep loads based on a consistent failure mode. The equivalent acceleration method includes obtaining corresponding tensile strengths; obtaining corresponding creep rupture time; establishing rupture time law, minimum creep rate law and rupture strain law; calculating the value of parameter p in creep damage accumulation model; and dividing the failure mode consistency interval of creep load under variable temperature and variable load. The damage caused by the creep load in the failure mode consistency interval is calculated by using the multi-grade variable temperature and variable load creep nonlinear damage accumulation model, the damage is accelerated to the maximum creep load state in the failure mode consistency interval according to the principle of damage equivalence, and finally the equivalent acceleration of creep load is realized.

A glass stress test method includes breaking a glass, analyzing a shape of a crack of a broken portion of the glass in a plan view, finding a breakage origin of the glass based on the shape of the crack in the plan view, analyzing a cross-section of the breakage origin, and calculating a stress of the glass based on a cross-sectional analysis result of the breakage origin. The stress of the glass is calculated as a value proportional to a floor constant defined by a condition of a floor surface disposed when the glass is broken.

A device for measuring a mechanical property of a tissue includes a probe configured to perturb the tissue with movement relative to a surface of the tissue, an actuator coupled to the probe to move the probe, a detector configured to measure a response of the tissue to the perturbation, and a controller coupled to the actuator and the detector. The controller drives the actuator using a stochastic sequence and determines the mechanical property of the tissue using the measured response received from the detector. The probe can be coupled to the tissue surface. The device can include a reference surface configured to contact the tissue surface. The probe may include a set of interchangeable heads, the set including a head for lateral movement of the probe and a head for perpendicular movement of the probe. The perturbation can include extension of the tissue with the probe or sliding the probe across the tissue surface and may also include indentation of the tissue with the probe. In some embodiments, the actuator includes a Lorentz force linear actuator. The mechanical property may be determined using non-linear stochastic system identification. The mechanical property may be indicative of, for example, tissue compliance and tissue elasticity. The device can further include a handle for manual application of the probe to the surface of the tissue and may include an accelerometer detecting an orientation of the probe. The device can be used to test skin tissue of an animal, plant tissue, such as fruit and vegetables, or any other biological tissue.

Nano-indentation test to determine mechanical properties of reservoir rock can be implemented as multi-stage or single-stage tests. An experimental nano-indentation test (multi-stage or single-stage) is performed on a solid sample. A numerical nano-indentation test (multi-stage or single-stage) is performed on a numerical model of the solid sample. One or more experimental force-displacement curves obtained in response to performing the experimental nano-indentation test and one or more numerical force-displacement curves obtained in response to performing the numerical test are compared. Multiple mechanical properties of the solid sample are determined based on a result of the comparing.

Virtual sensors can be used to monitor the loads on the system in determining damage accumulation, remaining useful life or retirement time of the components. A virtual sensor is a mathematical construct to infer a desired system measurement (e.g. a structural load) from readily available system state parameters (e.g. speed, weight, load factors, control settings, etc.). The accuracy of the virtual sensor depends upon the mapping between the desired measurement and the state parameters. A hybrid load monitoring system and method includes one or more direct or physical sensor measurements in addition to the plurality of virtual sensors. Signals from the physical sensors are included as an input (as opposed to an output) to the mapping between system state parameters and the various target sensor feature amplitudes.

This internal pressure loading system includes an internal pressure loading device and an information processing device. The internal pressure loading device is set at an inner face of a pipe, and includes a load meter which detects the load applied to the inner face of the pipe and a displacement meter which detects the deformation amount of the pipe. When the internal pressure loading device is expanded so as to increase the load to be detected by the load meter, the width of the pipe at which the displacement meter is located is reduced. On the basis of the load detected by the load meter and the deformation amount detected by the displacement meter, the information processing device evaluates the remaining strength of the pipe.
