Abstract: By the semi-inverse method of establishing variational principles, the Hellinger-Reissner principle can be obtained straightforwardly from energy trial-functionals without using Lagrange multipliers, ...

Abstract: A simple model has been developed to estimate the sensible thermodynamic properties such as Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, heat capacity, and entropy of unbranched hydrocarbons over a wide range ...

Abstract: An infinite elastically isotropic plate containing a circular inclusion with dilative eigenstrain is studied, and the critical condition for the axisymmetric buckling driven by the eigenstrain is ...

Abstract: In this paper, the antislip stability assessment of a gravity retaining wall is analyzed by considering the spatial variability of soils based on the theory of random fields. The effects of spatial correlation lengths of ...

Abstract: Finite-element (FE) model updating aims at the parametric identification of a structure by correcting model parameters in an initial FE model of the structure to reconcile FE predictions with experimental counterparts. ...
