Abstract: The surface topography of aluminum and titanium alloys after plastic deformation is investigated using white-light interferometry. The surface profiles of tensile samples in the longitudinal and ...

Abstract: Linear dynamics and distributed control of piezoelectric laminated continua have been intensively investigated in recent years. In this study, dynamics, electromechanical couplings, and control of ...

Abstract: The influence of the installation method on the soil flow pattern, resulting external radial total stress changes, and final external shaft friction after consolidation has been investigated for caissons in soft clay by ...

Abstract: In certain types of steel framed structures members can be subjected to significant distributed axial as well as lateral loads along their lengths. The behavior of the member is complicated by the nonlinear interaction ...

Abstract: Loads such as those caused by wind, snow, and dead weight act along members in a frame structure. This type of member loads is extremely common in the practical design and analysis of structures. However, most research ...

Abstract: We investigate free-surface oscillating jets with elliptical cross section, focusing on behavior associated with decaying surface tension. Previous one-dimensional equations for an oscillating jet ...

Abstract: Drilling crack-arrest holes is a simple technique, commonly used by bridge owners to control and/or repair fatigue cracks in steel bridges. Although well-established relationships exist for sizing the diameter of crack-arrest ...
