Abstract: In this investigation, we demonstrate a technique that, under certain circumstances, will determine stresses associated with a nonuniform deformation field without knowing the detailed constitutive behavior of the deforming ...

Abstract: Through the analysis of a model problem, a thin elastic plate bonded to an elastic foundation, we address several issues related to the miniature bulge test for measuring the energy-release rate associated with the interfacial ...

Abstract: Temperature history prediction is essential for a better understanding of the relationship between microstructural change and processing conditions for energy beam additive manufacturing fabricated components. Here, a new ...

Abstract: Brittle and quasibrittle solids, when subject to compression, fail by the development of microcracks that originate from heterogeneity. Lateral confinement has been shown to affect the failure pattern of the testing specimen, ...

Abstract: This paper is one of three papers exploring and confirming a novel high rate nanomanufacturing method using laser to induce and accelerate chemical synthesis and deposition of nanotubes. We have shown elsewhere that the ...

Abstract: A novel formulation for elastoplasticity has been recently proposed by Liu and Hong. These authors have explored the internal symmetry of the constitutive model for perfect plasticity to ensure that the consistency condition ...

Abstract: This study focuses on addressing the severe plastic deformation (SPD) behavior and the effects of machining parameters on microstructure alternations in machined surface created from highspeed machining. A finite element ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional second-order closure meteorological and pollutant dispersion model is developed, and the computed results are evaluated. A finite-element method is used to solve the governing equations because of its ...

Abstract: A wind field interpolated from a limited supply of observed data often implies a specific field of divergence, or a violation of the conservation of mass. To minimize the divergence, various objective analyses have been ...
