Abstract: Analytical models are developed for calculating temperatures, stresses and distortions resulting from the welding process. The models are implemented in finite element formulations and applied to ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional finite element models were formulated to evaluate the distribution of the elastic stress intensity factor around the periphery of cracklike flaws postulated to exist at the ...

Abstract: As part of an ongoing effort to use empirical data to test the computational accuracy of the building energy analysis computer program BLAST, two verification studies are reported. In the ...
