Abstract: The influence of related constitutive equations upon the stress-redistribution times for a simple two-bar structure is such that the time-hardening model is unlikely to provide reliable estimates ...

Abstract: The relationship between the reference stress concept and the nesting surfaces of Calladine and Drucker is examined and the implications for nonisothermal creep are discussed. A method for ...

Abstract: A method is proposed for estimating structural creep deformation due to histories of cyclic proportional loading. The method applies to structures composed of materials whose creep strain due ...

Abstract: In this paper the deformations of a beam subject to cyclic bending moment and a thick-walled cylinder subject to cyclic internal pressure are investigated for an elastic/time hardening/perfectly ...

Abstract: A method is proposed for isolating the two constants required to quantify the creep strains caused by cyclic histories of stress. These constants can be determined from the results of a single ...

Abstract: Flows past a free surface piercing cylinder are studied numerically by large eddy simulation at Froude numbers up to FrD=3.0 and Reynolds numbers up to ReD=1×105. A two-phase volume of ...

Abstract: Improved expressions to predict time-averaged and horizontally averaged vertical suspended sediment concentration profiles (
