Abstract: Precracked 304 stainless steel (304SS) compact tension (CT) specimens repaired by laser with addition of different weight fractions of nano-tungsten carbide (nano-WC) were studied to investigate the effects of nano-WC on ...

Abstract: In this paper, 3-D solutions of free vibrations are presented for isotropic and composite laminated cylindrical shells. The perturbation method and a variational principle are used to obtain the ...

Abstract: A localized inhomogeneous cyclic plastic deformation phenomenon was experimentally investigated in a mild steel. Small strain gages were utilized to characterize the local deformation within the ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) failure criteria based on the Hoek–Brown (HB) criterion and a general Lode dependence for rocks were proposed in this paper. The proposed failure criteria inherited the compression meridian from the ...

Abstract: Dry friction backward whirl is a self-excited vibration state in rotor-to-stator contact systems, by which the rotor is in continuous contact with the stator, slipping continuously on the contact ...

Abstract: This paper obtains a closed-form general solution to the two-surface plasticity theory for linear stress paths. The simple two-surface model is discussed first. It is shown that according to ...

Abstract: Based on the previous benchmark studies on combustion, scalar transfer, and radiation models, a critical evaluation of turbulence models in a propaneair diffusion flame combustor with interior and exterior conjugate heat ...
