Abstract: In this paper a finite element analysis of steady-state dynamic crack growth under mode I plane strain small scale yielding conditions has been performed in a power law hardening rate dependent ...

Abstract: Fiber pull-out resistance is an important mechanism of energy absorption during the failure of fiber-reinforced composite materials. This paper deals with axial stress distribution in the fiber ...

Abstract: In the current work, a geometricallyaccurate twodimensional model is developed of an isolated fuel assembly within isothermal compartment walls. Finite difference thermal simulations are performed to determine the cladding ...

Abstract: This study demonstrates the potentials of using Cuttle Bone Powder (CBP) as a biofiller and a low-cost sustainable alternative to cement for the production of lightweight Foamed Mortar (FM). The effects of varying Foam ...

Abstract: Inductive heating with high-voltage cables reduces the risk of hydrate formation by raising the temperature of the production fluid in pipelines. Heating the pipeline results in losing a certain fraction of the heat to the ...

Abstract: The technique of reinforcing soil for foundation improvement is well established. This paper addresses the aspect of settlement of reinforced sand foundations, where the major part of the existing work deals with the aspect ...

Abstract: This study aimed to address pavement cracking caused by the high swell-shrink behavior of expansive soils, resulting from fluctuations in moisture content and high clay content, by using an eco-friendly nontraditional ...

Abstract: This study investigates the evolution of surface integrity of a strategically important niobium-based cermet with nickel binder (NbC–Ni), while processing it with electrochemical machining (ECM) and hybrid laser-ECM (LECM) ...
