Abstract: This paper develops a nonlinear finite element formulation to analyze nanoindentation using an atomistic approach, which is conducive to observing the deformation mechanisms associated with the ...

Abstract: This paper adopts an atomic-scale model based on the nonlinear finite element formulation to analyze the stress and strain induced in a very thin film during the nanoindentation process. The ...

Abstract: A number of numerical predictions are performed to evaluate the aerodynamic and infrared radiation characteristics of spherical convergent flap nozzles (SCFN). The accuracy of the computations was verified by comparing the ...

Abstract: Bonding of asphalt layers on road construction is usually examined with the pull-off test, measuring the adhesive power. This value however, is not appropriate to characterize the fracture-mechanical behavior of layer ...

Abstract: A pipe-in-pipe (PIP) system is an important engineering structure in the petroleum industry. Under the excitation of ocean fluids, the PIP system produces vortex-induced vibration (VIV), which can affect the oil recovery ...
