Abstract: Nonlinear buckling and postbuckling behavior for a 3D braided composite cylindrical shell of finite length subjected to lateral pressure, hydrostatic pressure, or external liquid pressure in thermal ...

Abstract: A field load test is an essential way to understand the behavior and fundamental characteristics of newly constructed bridges before they are allowed to go into service. The results of field static load tests and numerical ...

Abstract: A boundary layer theory for buckling and postbuckling of anisotropic laminated thin shells is extended to shear deformable stiffened anisotropic laminated shells. A postbuckling behavior is ...

Abstract: High strength steels (HSSs) are one of the light-weight sheet metals well suited for reducing vehicle weight due to their higher strength-to-weight ratio. However, HSS tend to have bigger ...

Abstract: Resistance spot welding (RSW) is a very complicated process involving electromagnetic, thermal, fluid flow, mechanical, and metallurgical variables. Since weld nugget area is closed and unobservable ...

Abstract: Electromagnetic stirring (EMS) has been demonstrated to have significant effect on molten metal in terms of crystal orientation, grain refinement and macro appearance of solidified structures by ...

Abstract: Numerous long-span cable-supported bridges have been built throughout the world in recent years. These bridges begin to deteriorate once built and continuously accumulate damage during their long service life. The growing ...
