Abstract: A transparent material with variable modulus of elasticity has been manufactured. It exhibits good photoelastic properties, and can also be strain analyzed by printing gratings on its surface ...

Abstract: From a practical point of view, some measures to reduce the thickness effect backed by a reasonable criterion are required for fabricating structures with heavy section plates. In this study, ...

Abstract: The brittle fracture, for its catastrophic nature, is one of the most important factors for designing offshore structures especially operating in the cold sea. Fracture mechanics method can ...
