Abstract: The main objective of the paper is to develop the mathematical analysis of the response of a metallic stent subject to axisymmetric loads over its length and to different boundary conditions. ...

Abstract: The mechanical response of a metallic stent is considered in this series of two papers. In Part I, the development of a test method for the characterization of the mechanical response of a ...

Abstract: The paper simulates a spindle-bearing system with a finite-element model; then compares it to the experimental results. Radial and tilting springs and dashpots are considered in angular contact ...

Abstract: This paper presents a design procedure for buried pipelines subjected to both strikeslip and reverse strike-slip faults after modifying some of the assumptions used previously. Based on the ...

Abstract: The first-order perturbation analysis of the three-dimensional transient interlaminar thermal stresses of a symmetric composite laminate has been performed in this paper. Numerical results for a ...

Abstract: This paper presents lateral-loading test results of lightweight wood-frame shear walls with ply-bamboo sheathing panels. Twenty shear walls of five different types of sizes, nailing, and loading schemes were tested under ...

Abstract: Measurements of the droplet behavior near the wall in a vertical rectangular duct were conducted by a phase Doppler particle analyzer (PDPA). The test Reynolds number and drop size range is ...

Abstract: A combined experimental-numerical approach has been developed to quantify the strain rate variation of the workpiece in the roll bite region. In this approach, cold rolling experiments at a ...

Abstract: The effects of vanadium layer thickness (100, 200 and 400 μm) on the resistance-curve behavior of NiAl/V, microlaminates are examined in this paper. The fracture resistance of the NiAl ...
