Abstract: A statically admissible solution for a perfectly plastic material in plane stress is presented for the mode I crack problem. The yield condition employed is an alternative type first proposed ...

Abstract: A continuous stress field for the mode I crack problem for a perfectly plastic material under plane stress loading conditions has been obtained recently. Here, a kinematically admissible velocity ...

Abstract: This describes the first phase of an effort to develop a robot crane for shipbuilding applications. The focus of this phase is on the study of the stiffness characteristics of this robot as ...
