Abstract: The extended GLOSS method of analysis has been presented here that leads to conservative bounds on inelastic local strains. Consequently, the local region constraint parameter (λ̄) is determined ...

Abstract: A new robust method, called MARS (modulus adjustment and redistribution of stress), based on linear elastic finite element analyses has been proposed to evaluate inelastic strains in anisotropic ...

Abstract: Mechanical components and structures loaded into inelastic region can fail by low cycle fatigue (LCF). Evaluation of inelastic strain is an important stage in the LCF life prediction methodology. ...

Abstract: Ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) has proven useful in the solid-state, low tempe’rature fabrication of layered solid metal structures. It is necessary to optimize the various process variables ...
