Abstract: This paper is concerned with the analytical study of the interaction between an infinite acoustic medium and a cluster of circular rods. The acoustic field due to oscillating rods and the ...

Abstract: In 1971, Lin showed a physical theory of plasticity which seems to represent the actual mechanism of plasticity better than other theories. Since then, much work has been done to improve this ...

Abstract: A part of the work done on a plastically deformed metal reappears in the form of heat and the remaining part remains latent in the metal, known as latent energy. Part of this latent energy ...

Abstract: In the context of a purely mechanical rate-type theory of plasticity, a special set of constitutive equations is discussed. A method [1,2] of characterizing strain-hardening behavior is utilized ...

Abstract: Fatigue bands have been observed in both monocrystalline and polycrystalline metals. Extrusions and intrusions at the free surface of fatigued specimens are favorable sites for fatigue crack ...

Abstract: This study presents a stochastic approach for the analysis of nonchaotic, chaotic, random and nonchaotic, random and chaotic, and random dynamics of a nonlinear system. The analysis utilizes a ...

Abstract: The governing equations of a laminated anisotropic cylindrical shell problem are a system of partial differential equations. The boundary conditions will complicate the problem. Thus, it is hard ...
