Abstract: A recently developed equilibrium based curve/surface fitting method is extended to linear function with heteroscedastic data (variable variance). The concept of equilibrium weighted “forceâ€‌ and “momentâ€‌ is proposed ...

Abstract: The demand for subsea transport of highly corrosive constituents has noticeably increased in recent years. This has driven the requirement for high strength pipelines with enhanced corrosion resistance such as chromium ...

Abstract: This paper investigates elastic and elastic–plastic responses of a plane strain compact tension specimen containing a discontinuous crack using twodimensional (2D) finite element analyses. Discontinuous cracking is ...

Abstract: This paper presents predictions of the mechanical response of sintered FGH96 Ni-based superalloy powder compacts at high temperatures, obtained by the analysis of 3D representative volume elements generated by both X-ray ...
