Abstract: The time-dependent, local microbuckling of fibers in polymer composites is modeled in the context of viscoelasticity. The instability or “growth-of-waviness”-type analysis is carried out for ...

Abstract: When a structure deviates from axisymmetry because of circumferentially varying model features, significant changes can occur to its natural frequencies and modes, particularly for the doublet ...

Abstract: A simulation model incorporating determination of a dynamic dilemma zone and algorithms to determine gate operation parameters for train-vehicle collision avoidance at highway-rail intersections (HRI) is developed, validated, ...

Abstract: This paper treats a liquid-metal flow in a rectangular duct with a strong, uniform, transverse magnetic field and with thin metal walls, except for two finite-length, perfectly conducting ...

Abstract: Extended Bond Graph (EBG) reticulations for general and linear piezoelectric continua are developed in this paper. The EBG formulation is especially advantageous for modeling the distributed coupled ...

Abstract: A closed-form, analytical solution is presented for the transient, plane thermal stress analysis of a linearly elastic, homogeneously orthotropic hollow cylinder subjected to an arbitrary temperature ...

Abstract: The unsteady viscous flow fields of a cross-flow fan are computed by time-accurately solving the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with the unstructured triangular mesh solver ...

Abstract: The working group on bridge control within the ASCE Committee on Structural Control recently initiated a first-generation benchmark problem addressing the control of a cable-stayed bridge subjected to seismic excitation. ...

Abstract: Metal–plastic composite tubular structures that combine the high strength and stiffness of metallic tubes with the lightweight and flexible properties of plastic tubes, exhibit considerable potential to provide lightweight ...
