Abstract: Bolt-nut connectors play an important role in the safety and reliability of structural systems. Stress concentration due to unequal load distribution can cause fatigue failure in bolt-nut connectors. ...

Abstract: A new model for springback, based on isotropic and kinematic hardening models, the Mroz multiple surfaces model, and observations from experimental data, is proposed in this paper. In this ...

Abstract: Several parameters for evaluating the decrease in structural stiffness in nonlinear finite element problems are defined here. Two types of parameters were considered: those that measure the overall ...

Abstract: The Computers In Education (CIEd) technical committee focuses on educational issues and advances related to the usage of computing technologies in mechanical engineering courses and curricula. ...
