Abstract: A sequential approximation algorithm is presented here that is particularly suited for problems in engineering design and structural optimization, where the number of variables is very large and ...

Abstract: A layered manufacturing technique that uses electrophotography is described where powder is picked up and deposited using a charged photoconducting surface and deposited layer by layer on a build ...

Abstract: Single crystals of NiAl are very ductile at intermediate temperatures (400–700 K) and were observed to exhibit high strain hardening rates at large strains when loaded in the [110] orientation. ...

Abstract: Numerical methods for solving boundary value problems that do not require generation of mesh to approximate the analysis domain have been referred to as mesh-free methods. While many of these ...

Abstract: A method to estimate the resistivity of composite structures using an inverse problem solving algorithm is presented that uses voltage distribution on the structure as data. Electrodes attached ...

Abstract: Deformation of NiAl single crystals was studied using finite element analysis to investigate the modes of localized deformation. Constitutive parameters and hardening characteristics of the active ...

Abstract: A method for finite element analysis using a regular or structured grid is described that eliminates the need for generating conforming mesh for the geometry. The geometry of the domain is ...
