Abstract: A foundation medium is divided into a number of horizontal layers, Each layer is idealized by a system of multiple one‐dimensional vertical columns interconnected by shear springs. The model is defined by two parameters, ...

Abstract: Residual stresses introduced during quenching process in aluminium gas cylinders contribute to the development of cracks. This may result in leakage or fracture of the cylinders. Finite element ...

Abstract: This paper presents a temperature-based method for the determination of the size of elastoplastic zones. A mathematical model describing the one-dimensional thermal problem of the propagation of ...

Abstract: The relationship between the pattern of surface strain and the site of failure in maturing rabbit ligaments was studied in vitro. Bone-medial collateral ligament (MCL)-bone complexes of 24 female ...

Abstract: Although there are many variables affecting the housing price of an area, only three significant independent variables (“Feng Shui,” “Accessibility,” and “Building Age”) are studied in this paper. It is found that the ...

Abstract: Government regulations on urban land use can cause urban land shortages, and hence higher prices of urban land and housing. Hong Kong, in particular, is under the innate constraints of limited land resources. But developments ...

Abstract: The ABAQUS finite element code was used to model a pressurized pipe and subjected to cyclic bending loads to investigate ratcheting. A 1-in. schedule 40 pipe was loaded with a slow (static) ...

Abstract: In these studies, both dynamic and static tests were conducted on pressurized pipe. Dynamic tests were run on 1 in. Schedule 40 and Schedule 10 seamless 304 stainless steel pipe. Welded 1 ...
