Abstract: Lower-bound expressions for the rupture times corresponding to a maximum tension stress damage law are developed for the creep of disks rotating under conditions of plane stress and plane strain. ...

Abstract: A uniaxial theory of low-stress, high-temperature creep rupture has been shown to predict the results of uniaxial creep rupture tests. By including the creep rupture relationships into the ...

Abstract: The initial elastic properties of two unidirectional ceramic matrix composite tows, comprised of continuous, cylindrical fibers surrounded by one or more matrices, have been calculated using three ...

Abstract: This paper considers the multi-axial stress-strain-failure response of two commercially woven ceramic matrix composites. The different failure mechanisms of uni-axially stressed tows and woven ...

Abstract: Path optimization is desirable in many problem instances occurring in discrete manufacturing and pick and place technology. The problem may refer to applications ranging from two-dimensional ...

Abstract: In the current work it is proposed a simple, and fast softwired tool wear monitoring approach, based upon the features of the time series analysis and the Green’s Function (GF) features. The ...

Abstract: The creep rupture behavior of metals at high temperatures is reviewed for constant homogeneous states of multiaxial stress. Currently used methods for estimating the creep rupture life of ...

Abstract: A series of stress change experiments on a batch of tough pitch copper are presented which were devised to evaluate the variation of Young’s modulus with creep damage. Kachanov’s model is ...
