Abstract: Delamination cracking in thermal barrier coating (TBC) system is studied with the newly developed theoretical model. A semi-infinite long interface crack is pre-existing. The thermal stress and ...

Abstract: Essential to the application of the kinematic wave theory to open channel flow is the kinematic wave parameters which relate the discharge to the flow area in the channel. Earlier works have developed the kinematic wave ...

Abstract: The elastic-plastic finite element method of a dynamic explicit algorithm was used to simulate the deep drawing processes of nickel coating electrodeposited on a steel substrate to form an ...

Abstract: The theoretical model for the blister test method was used to analyze the interface fracture toughness of zirconia coating deposited on an SUS304 stainless steel substrate by a plasma-spraying ...

Abstract: This paper introduces innovative artificial intelligent techniques for directly predicting the cracking patterns of masonry wallets, subjected to vertical loading. The von Neumann neighborhood model and the Moore neighborhood ...

Abstract: Thermal damage of SiC particulate-reinforced aluminum composites (MMCs) caused by laser thermal shock was investigated. The damage was induced by a combination of laser beam thermal shock and ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a technique that directly predicts the failure patterns of laterally loaded masonry panels based on the results of existing typical panels tested in the laboratory. The technique is based on the use ...

Abstract: Glued laminated bamboo (glubam) is an engineered bamboo for the potential usage in structures as an alternative to timber-based glulam. This paper focuses on the impact toughness and static bending strength of glubam, with ...
