Abstract: Three dynamic tests on pressurized elbows involving fatigue-ratcheting as the major failure mode are investigated. The fatigue analysis is carried out with two approaches: the first is global ...

Abstract: This paper considers two stochastic models for a soil-structure interaction problem with vertical propagation of P waves during strong earthquake motion. These models include the horizontal and vertical spatial variability ...

Abstract: A variational formulation for the pure in-plane bending problem of pressurized elbows with arbitrary cross section, written in the 3-D infinitesimal displacement continuum mechanics framework, and ...
