Abstract:
We numerically investigate the stress distribution of a paste when an external oscillation is applied. The paste memorizes the oscillation through plastic deformation. Due to the plastic deformation, the residual stress remains after the oscillation, where the residual stress distribution depends on the number of cycles in the oscillation. As this number increases, the symmetry of the stress distribution is enhanced, which is consistent with the crack patterns observed in the experiments using a drying paste.
