Abstract: The Hertzian contact theory is approximated according to a concept by (2001, “ A New Calculation Method of Hertz Elliptical Contact Pressure,” ASME J. Tribol., 123, pp. 887–889) yielding simple ...

Abstract: The Principle of Maximum Dissipation Rate (PMD) can be exploited to derive homogeneous kinetic rate laws for the internal variables. A “normality structure” expressing the rates of the internal ...

Abstract: An analytical procedure applicable for the experimental determination of initially existing residual stresses in long composite circular cylinders is derived within the framework of the drilling ...

Abstract: During continuous casting low alloy steels undergo a proeutectoid γ (austenite)/α (ferrite) transformation at temperatures of about 1000 K and above. The continuous rearrangement of the iron-lattice ...

Abstract: Based on earlier works by the authors an analytical expression for the surface temperature of a halfplane heated by fast moving rolling/sliding contact and cooled by convection on the surface ...

Abstract: The progress of a transformed phase into an elastic-plastic parent phase is simulated by a growing sphere. The transformation is accompanied by a dilatational volume change. The strain and ...

Abstract: In this paper computational and analytical treatments of the center wave buckling phenomenon in thin strips under in-plane loads which typically appear during cold rolling of sheet metal, are ...

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to derive a micromechanics framework to study the kinetics of transformation due to interface migration in elastic-plastic materials. Both coherent and incoherent ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional analysis of the dynamic behavior of liquid-filled elastic cylindrical tanks based on flexible grounds, undergoing horizontal and vertical earthquake excitation is presented. The ...
