Abstract: In this paper, a stiffnessbased model is initially assessed for fatigue damage simulation of composite materials. The model is evaluated with three sets of experimental data. A residual strength model is coupled to the ...

Abstract: In this study, stochastic analysis is aimed for space structures (satellite in low earth orbit, made of aluminum 2024-T3), with the focus on fatigue failure. Primarily, the deterministic fatigue simulation is conducted ...

Abstract: This paper studies the stochastic behavior of fatigue crack growth analytically and empirically by employing basic models in fracture mechanics. The research estimates the crack growth rate probabilistically, quantifies ...

Abstract: Corrosion degradation is a common problem for boiler tubes in power plants, resulting in an unscheduled plant shutdown. In this research, degradation of the corrosion is investigated for boiler tubes by estimating the ...

Abstract: Mechanical engineering continues to dominate the design, development, and advancement of autonomous vehicle technologies, and throughout this process is likely to evolve through several risks and uncertainties. Self-driving ...

Abstract: Production scheduling is one of the most substantial indicators in achieving short-term, medium-term, and long-term production planning goals. Satisfying this indicator can remarkably reduce total costs and enhance ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new model is proposed for system degradation evaluation under sliding wear failure mechanism. This model estimates the material loss with respect to progression of sliding distance. This model is generated ...

Abstract: Predicting of hazards associated with the damages of fuel storage tanks in petroleum refineries is critical in maintaining safety of the facilities. This study assesses the hazard of the refinery gasoline tank damage by ...
