Abstract: A continuum particle model correlates the interatomic potential of a crystal lattice with the elastic moduli of the solid, in which discrete atoms are modeled by perfectly bonded continuum particles, named singum, to ...

Abstract: The recently published simplified singum model has been improved by using the thermodynamics-based equation of state (EOS) of solids to derive a new interatomic potential based on elastic constants. The finite deformation ...

Abstract: This paper extends Eshelby’s problem of one inhomogeneity embedded in a homogeneous infinite domain to a bimaterial infinite domain. The equivalent inclusion method (EIM) was used to simulate the inhomogeneity of an inclusion ...

Abstract: When cables use many wires packed in a hexagonal pattern wrapped by bands around the surface, effective stiffness plays an important role in structural integrity and safety. This paper studies cylindrical wires packed in ...

Abstract: A simple, economic, and scalable material manufacturing method of sedimentation has been used to fabricate functionally graded materials for solar roofing panels. This paper investigates the size effect of aluminum powder ...

Abstract: Composite materials and structures often exhibit thermal stresses and deformations due to their thermal expansion mismatch. For a layered laminate, the stress transfer mechanism involves both bending and interfacial shearing, ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of asphalt concrete varies with temperature; therefore, researchers have been developing technologies to reduce temperature fluctuations in pavement overlays. Increasing the thermal conductivity of ...

Abstract: The use of warm mix asphalt as an environmentally friendly alternative to hot mix asphalt is quickly building credibility and notoriety. Many technologies are being investigated that allow asphalt to be produced at a lower ...

Abstract: Temperature change after formation commonly results in thermal residual stress in multilayered structures due to the different thermal and mechanical properties of each layer. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) elastic ...
