Abstract: A three-dimensional constitutive model for muscle and tendon tissues is developed. Muscle and tendon are considered as composite materials that consist of fibers and the connective tissues and ...

Abstract: A new method of analysis of three-dimensional metal extrusion using asymptotic perturbation methods is presented in this paper. The plasticity model used depends on the first and second invariants ...

Abstract: A technical theory for pretwisted beams that accounts for variable twist (constrained warping) is based on an approximate displacement field that is defined completely in terms of two unknown functions: the axial displacement

Abstract: When a metal deforms plastically, most of the mechanical energy expended in the deformation process is converted into heat and the remainder is stored in the material. A method for the ...
