Abstract: The concept of mechanical equation of state is reviewed based on experimental results on 1100 aluminum alloy. It is applied to describe the effects of cold work on creep and creep rupture ...

Abstract: The ramifications of the definition of failure on solder joint fatigue life are discussed in terms of two considerations: (1) the dependence of the measured damage parameter (load drop or ...

Abstract: The state variable theory of Hart, while providing a unified description of plasticity-dominated deformation, exhibits deficiencies when it is applied to transient deformation phenomena at stresses ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of inelastic analysis performed to calculate the deformation of a thin-walled tube subjected to a variety of loadings at elevated temperatures. A state variable ...
