Abstract: Biaxial cyclic deformation and creep-fatigue data for Incoloy 800 and Type 316H stainless steel at elevated temperature are presented. Tubular specimens were subjected to constant internal pressure ...

Abstract: Elevated-temperature failure of structural materials (e.g., austenitic stainless steels, low-alloy steels) used in energy-conversion systems can occur by fatigue, creep, or by interactive processes ...

Abstract: A finite-volume method is presented for calculating incompressible 3-D flows with curved irregular boundaries. The method employs structured nonorthogonal grids, cell-centered variable arrangement, ...

Abstract: The problem of determining a limit condition for a composite material in terms of average stresses by limit analysis is incompletely specified, and the limit condition so-obtained may be ...

Abstract: In this study, thermal cycling response of quasi-isotropic metal-matrix composite (MMC) with a stacking sequence of [0/ ± 45/90]s was investigated. The thermal cycles were imposed between ...

Abstract: The strength and toughness of whisker- and fiber-reinforced composites are controlled to a large extent by the nature of the bonding between the fibers/whiskers and the matrix. An important ...

Abstract: An experimental neutron diffraction technique was used to measure residual strains that developed in multiphase composite materials during postfabrication cooling as a result of thermal expansion ...
