Abstract: By using the solution of eigenstrain problems in anisotropic media, flat ellipsoidal inclusions and crack problems are investigated. When a dilatational misfit strain is defined in a flat ...

Abstract: Based upon the Mori-Tanaka method, the constitutive equations of power-law materials and the failure criteria of multiple cracks materials are investigated. The piecewise linear incremental approach ...

Abstract: A method for the probabilistic failure analysis of laminated composite plates with random system parameters subject to transverse loads is presented. System parameters such as material properties, plate thickness, and ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the use of variable speed cutting for vibration control in the face milling process. Both simulation and experimental results show that the self-excited vibrations that can ...

Abstract: The Eulerian-Lagrangian approach is employed to simulate droplet trajectories due to the large-velocity gradient between two solid surfaces: a stationery block (slider) and a rotating plane (disk). ...

Abstract: The use of a bioengineered bioluminescent bacterium (Shk1) for monitoring zinc toxicity was evaluated with samples from a municipal activated sludge wastewater treatment plant and in a bench-scale activated sludge system. ...

Abstract: A high-shear capillary viscometer was used to determine the viscosity of mineral oil lubricants containing an olefin copolymer up to shear rates of a million reciprocal seconds. Comprehensive ...
