Abstract: Uniform plastic slip is assumed to occur in a cubic region embedded at the free surface of a semi-infinite elastic solid. The slip plane and slip direction are both inclined at 45 deg to ...

Abstract: In an aggregate under moderate loads, plastic deformation is considered to occur in favorably oriented crystals on single active slip systems. The residual stresses, due to the slip strains, ...

Abstract: Concrete beams retrofitted with bonded fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) plates often fail by debonding of the plate from the concrete surface. To predict the failure load in design, a proper debonding model is required. As ...

Abstract: Vortex pipe flow of suspensions with laminar motion in the fluid phase is treated. The pipe consists of two smoothly joined sections, one stationary and the other rotating with a constant ...

Abstract: Electrostatic probes for indicating instantaneous flow rate of pulverized coal suspension in a pipe were devised and tested. Experiments were performed on flow systems consisting of 2 and 5-in-ID ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the importance of pipe system scale—specifically pipe length and diameter—on unsteady friction in pipe transients. A dimensionless analysis is conducted for the one-dimensional (1D) water-hammer ...

Abstract: For concrete beams and slabs, the bonding of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) plates to the bottom surface is an effective and efficient technique for flexural strengthening. Failure of strengthened members often occurs due ...

Abstract: This paper describes a prototype software system that implements a form of feature-based design for assembly. It is not an automated design system but instead a decision and design aid for ...
