Abstract: We consider an elastic circular inclusion embedded in a half-plane and subjected to uniform transformation strains (eigenstrains). The inclusion-matrix interface is either perfectly bonded or is allowed to slip without ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on correlating micromorphology and nanomorphology to the performance of nano-enhanced polymers subjected to blast loading, studying the behavior of these materials at high strain rates, and evaluating ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical method, known as hybrid lattice particle modeling (HLPM), for the study of the reinforcement potential for coating of three-layer functionally designed nonlinear response retrofitting structure ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of a new generation of nanoparticle-reinforced polymeric materials as an alternative to fiber-reinforced polymer for the protection of masonry structures against blast loads. The ...
