Abstract: A long, thin circular cylindrical shell is loaded at one edge by symmetrical radial shear Qx and bending moment Mx . (No interior pressure.) The shell is made of material which under applied ...

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to set up a scheme for efficient computation of the small-displacement response of a plane assembly of rigid links, frictionless joints, and elastic springs to static ...

Abstract: Long-running ductile fractures have been observed in high-pressure gas pipelines. These fractures propagate at nearly constant speeds and are accompanied by a large amount of plastic deformation ...

Abstract: Lateral buckling can occur in a submarine pipeline laid (without trenching) on the seabed, when the oil temperature rises. Motion of the (elastic) pipe relative to the sea bed is resisted by ...
