Abstract: Anisotropic creep behavior of polycrystalline metals under repeated stress changes is modeled from a phenomenological point of view. The creep model consists of basic constitutive equations (BCE) ...

Abstract: Approximately 130years ago, Josiah Willard Gibbs, the founder of modern thermodynamics, established the following important theorems assuming existence and positive definiteness of the strain energy ...

Abstract: It is known that seat rows have a considerable effect on the sound transmission in auditoriums. When the direct wave propagates over the audience seats at near-grazing angle, excess attenuation ...

Abstract: In order to obtain new parameters available for assessing deep-drawability and pure-stretchability of sheet metals, a bulge test employing concentrically grooved disks is investigated. Both the ...

Abstract: The optimum geometry of the groove is investigated in the bulge test employing concentrically grooved disks which was earlier proposed as a press-formability test by the authors. It is recommended ...

Abstract: A new compression-twist type friction testing machine has been developed to simulate the frictional conditions prevailing in metal forming. Twin indenter tools with different sliding length were ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to examine the basic features of the surface energy balance (SEB) using the data obtained from the Comprehensive Outdoor Scale Model (COSMO). COSMO is an idealized miniature city that has no ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to examine the differences and similarities in the annual trends of the urban surface energy balance (SEB) among long-term field measurements. Four datasets analyzed for the study were collected ...
