Abstract: This paper develops a theory for geometrically nonlinear waves in strings and presents analytical solutions for a traveling kink, generation of a geometric wave with its accompanying P wave, ...

Abstract: A detailed finite element study of stable crack growth in elastic-perfectly plastic solids obeying an incremental plasticity theory and the Huber-Von Mises yield criterion is performed under plane ...

Abstract: A detailed finite element analysis is performed to model quasi-static crack growth under plane stress, small-scale yielding conditions in elastic-plastic materials characterized by isotropic power ...

Abstract: Laboratory testing at Combustion Engineering has indicated promise in controlling simulated steam generator tube denting through chemical neutralization. Testing was limited to on-line treatment, ...
