Abstract: Current simulations of welding distortion and residual stress have considered only the local weld zone. A large elastic structure surrounding a weld, however, can couple with the welding operation ...

Abstract: The axisymmetric distortion in girth-welded pipes is studied in this paper. A model is developed based on the fact that only a small part of the pipe near the welding arc undergoes high ...

Abstract: Distortion and residual stresses cause significant problems in the welding of large structures. Prediction of these phenomena would provide substantial assistance to the design and fabrication of ...

Abstract: Structural reliability/redundancy has become a serious concern in the building industry after the poor performance of some buildings in recent earthquakes. Yet, there is a general lack of thorough understanding of structural ...

Abstract: The continuity and momentum equations of laminar flow through poroelastic media and the sufficient boundary conditions are found in the present paper. The land subsidence equation, Brinkman equation, Darcy's law, and so ...

Abstract: The problem of a small‐amplitude water wave propagating in a channel of constant depth with a horizontal poroelastic bed of infinite thickness is investigated. Using the theory of poroelasticity derived in Huang and Chwang ...

Abstract: The nonlinear oscillatory water wave propagating over a constant depth channel with a horizontal poroelastic bed of infinite thickness is investigated. The channel flow is treated as potential flow, while the channel bed ...
