Abstract: Sloping structures are widely used in ice-infested waters because of their ability to reduce ice loading by inducing a bending failure in ice sheets. From model test data, a significant velocity effect on the breaking load ...

Abstract: Dispersion occurs when a wave propagates through a heterogeneous medium. Such a phenomenon becomes more pronounced when the smallest wavelength of the incoming pulse approaches the size of a unit cell, as well as when the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the breaking load of ice sheets up to 6 m thick, against a sloping structure. The reference model by Croasdale, which the design code is based on, neglects the edge moment arising from the loading ...

Abstract: The ballistic perforation of sandwich plates comprising two identical/unidentical aluminum alloy face sheets and an aluminum foam core is investigated to gain insights into the factors governing the penetration processes. ...

Abstract: Aside from ultrahigh strength and elasticity, metallic glasses (MGs) possess a number of favorable properties. However, their lack of dislocation based plastic deformation mechanisms in crystalline metals and the resulting ...

Abstract: Metallic glasses (MGs) are often perceived as quintessential structural materials due to their superior mechanical properties such as high strength and large elastic limit. In practical applications, service conditions ...
