Abstract: In the application of various damage accumulation hypotheses to shock and vibration problems, a pattern of results was observed. A plot of allowable response (for the largest of a sequence of ...

Abstract: Incremental failure was observed when two different loading conditions, pressure and expansion, were applied alternatively to an expansion joint. Neither of the conditions was capable independently ...

Abstract: Expansion joints of the style most commonly used in shell and tube heat exchangers were studied analytically and experimentally in the elastic range. A method of computing stresses and deformations ...
