RISA General Theory on Media with Randomly Distributed Inclusions: Part I—The Average Field Behaviors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a theory is developed to calculate the average strain field in the materials with randomly distributed inclusions. Many previous researches investigating the average field behaviors ...
Continuous Interface Elements Subject to Large Shear Deformations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: : In this paper, an interface or joint subject to large shear deformation is modeled. In the proposed algorithm, continuous interface elements with a finite thickness are reconstructed at every load step based on current ...
Large-Deflection Analysis of Whipping Pipes. I: Rigid, Perfectly-Plastic Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A theoretical model is constructed for a large-deflection analysis of a rigid, perfectly-plastic cantilever with a tip mass loaded by a transverse follower force pulse. The purpose of building and analyzing such a model ...
Large-Deflection Analysis of Whipping Pipes. II: Rigid, Perfectly-Plastic Beam Model with Elastic Root Spring
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In a companion paper, the effects of large deflections were evaluated for plastic deformation of a cantilever beam under a transverse force pulse applied at its tip. Here, the effect of material elasticity is introduced ...
Out-of-Plane Pipe Whip for a Bent Cantilever Pipe: Comparison Between Experiment and FEM Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The three-dimensional, dynamic, elastic-plastic response of a right-angle bent cantilever pipe, with an initially uniform, circular cross section, subjected to out-of-plane loading is examined using ...
On the Dynamic Growth of a Spherical Inclusion With Dilatational Transformation Strain in Infinite Elastic Domain
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the dynamic effect was incorporated into the initiation and propagation process of a transformation inclusion. Based on the time-varying propagation equation of a spherical ...
Identification of Solar Collector Dynamics Using Physical Model-Based Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A system dynamics model of flat-plate solar collectors was derived and identified here. A nonlinear physical model was first derived from a two-node concept and energy conservation principle. ...
A New Drift-Flux Model for Particle Transport and Deposition in Human Airways
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Particle deposition and transport in human airways is frequently modeled numerically by the Lagrangian approach. Current formulations of such models always require some ad hoc assumptions, and ...
Fracture of Ductile Pipelines Subjected to Bending and Reverse Bending Loads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Closed-form solutions for the elastic-plastic deformation and fracture responses of an offshore pipeline during reeling and unreeling operations are derived. As an example, an API 5L X52 pipeline ...
E-Society Portal: Integrating Urban Highway Construction Projects into the Knowledge City
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Community involvement is an important factor for sustainable highway construction. Information and communication technologies provide a new and more effective approach to facilitate community involvement. However, there ...
