[Analysis of stresses developing in the evidence-bearing material affected by a bladed article]
Abstract:
The objective of the present study was to assess the possibility of using the finite element analysis for the elucidation of the mechanism of formation of stab-cutting injuries. Stresses developing in the evidence-bearing material at different stages of penetration of a bladed article are estimated. The three-dimensional modeling program was employed for the purpose. The finite element analysis demonstrated differing stress topography resulting from the prick of the blade and its plunging into the evidence-bearing material.

Stress: General Loading Conditions
The shearing force, possessing potential directionality within the plane of the section, is simplified into two component forces running parallel to the x and y axes.

Stresses under Combined Loadings
The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
