Abstract: In order to determine the localized plastic deformation of a pipe or tube produced by a dynamic loading that exceeds the yield load only briefly, it is important to know the effect of the ...

Abstract: The solutions to four classical problems in dynamic plasticity—the circular plate under uniform pressure, the reinforced circular cylindrical shell under uniform pressure, the free-free beam with ...

Abstract: This paper contains an exact solution for the transient temperature distribution, as well as for the accompanying quasi-static thermal stresses and deformations, which arise in an infinitely long ...

Abstract: This paper contains a three-dimensional solution, exact within classical elastostatics, for the stresses and deformations arising in a half-space with a semi-infinite transverse cylindrical hole, ...

Abstract: Severe hydraulic transients may be produced in the intermediate heat transport system of a liquid-metal-cooled breeder reactor by a sodium/water reaction in a failed steam generator. The PTA-2 ...

Abstract: Computational methods for analyzing pressure transients in the intermediate heat transport system of a sodium-cooled breeder reactor are being developed at Argonne National Laboratory. The pressure ...

Abstract: A generalized column separation model is extended to predict transient cavitation associated with fluid-structure interactions. The essential feature of the combined fluid-structure interaction ...
