Lecture
This lecture covers stress concentrations on the surface of an ellipsoidal void, including the Shelby method, advisory boards, and the impact of inclusion on stress distribution. The instructor discusses the concept of stress concentrations, the role of voids in materials, and the calculation of stress factors. Various methods for analyzing stress distribution are presented, such as the use of fictitious eigenstrains and the concept of true stress. The lecture also delves into the energy considerations of inhomogeneous inclusions and the importance of understanding the free energy and stored energy in materials. The content emphasizes the practical implications of stress analysis in engineering applications.
