Abstract: This paper describes the development of methodology that provides for quantification of uncertainty in the lifetime material strength degradation of structural components of aerospace propulsion systems subjected to a ...

Abstract: Similitude theory is used to develop scale models for determining the earthquake response of pile foundations embedded in overconsolidated clay. The model is compared with full-scale foundations ...

Abstract: Rotors of rotating machinery inherently have mass eccentricities that transfer forces to the bearings, housing, and foundation of the machine. This paper considers, from a probabilistic viewpoint, ...

Abstract: Similitude theory is used to develop a scale model for determining the dynamic response properties of a single pile embedded in over-consolidated clay. The basis for the design is a full-scale ...

Abstract: Tensile strip experiments of bovine corneas have shown that the tissue exhibits a nonlinear rate-dependent stress-strain response and a highly nonlinear creep response that depends on the applied ...

Abstract: The present study examines the thermomechanical strain-rate sensitivity of eutectic 63Sn–37Pb solder over a broad range of strain-rates from 0.0002 s–1 to 200 s–1 , thus encompassing failure ...

Abstract: Self-driving vehicles will revolutionize society; however, their safe and reliable implementation in all weather conditions requires critical partnerships between the meteorological, transportation, and vehicle manufacturer ...
