Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to simulate springback using a combined kinematic/isotropic hardening model. Material parameters in the hardening model are identified by an inverse method. ...

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to obtain the first few stress-strain loops of sheet metals from reverse loading so that the springback can be simulated accurately. Material parameters are ...

Abstract: A spectral element method is presented to solve coupled radiative and conductive heat transfer problems in multidimensional semitransparent medium. The solution of radiative energy source is based ...

Abstract: Rising sea levels and increased sea storminess have resulted in higher frequency of wave overtopping and greater magnitude of hydrodynamic action on coastal defenses. The situation has been exacerbated for reinforced ...

Abstract: A model for evaluating the critical buckling capacity of long slender friction piles is developed with lateral soil support included based on the concept of the subgrade reaction. A general power distribution of the ...

Abstract: This paper deals with an analysis of the size effect on the flow strength of metal-matrix composites due to the presence of geometrically necessary dislocations. The work is based upon a cell ...
