Abstract: State surfaces may be given by interpolation of experimental data or may represent the integration of linear or nonlinear elastic constitutive equations. Anelastic behavior may also be considered ...

Abstract: A nondestructive technique based on indentation and enhanced by the consideration of the imprint mapping is proposed for the diagnostic analysis of pipelines in oil transportation systems. The considered testing procedure ...

Abstract: A generalized interface model for joints and cracks in quasi-brittle materials is formulated. The proposed model marries an existing fracture mechanics based one developed for monotonic loading of concrete with another ...
