Abstract: The critical plane approach is applied to model material fatigue behavior under any constant amplitude proportional loading. The most critical plane and the largest damage parameter are determined ...

Abstract: The bifurcation of long elastic-plastic cylindrical shells subject to internal pressure is investigated. It is assumed that the end conditions are such that plane strain conditions prevail. For ...

Abstract: The elastic interaction between a crack and a fiber is studied for various loading conditions. Generalized from earlier work by Greif and Sanders, the present formulation is valid for arbitrary ...

Abstract: The effects of void nucleation occurring during the deformation history on forming limit curves are considered for both in-plane and punch stretching employing a constitutive model of a porous ...

Abstract: Analysis of the laser forming process has been focused on geometry, yield strength, and microstructure change in the past. However fatigue life has been the primary concern for engineering ...
