Abstract: The effect of stress frequency on the fatigue crack propagation rate in 99.5 percent pure titanium, which has a strong strain rate dependency in the plastic region, was studied. Fatigue crack ...

Abstract: In this paper the elasto/viscoplastic analysis of thin circular plates under large strains and large deformations is studied by the use of the finite-element method based on the membrane shell ...

Abstract: The hydraulic bulging of peripherally clamped, thin, circular disks into axisymmetric dies is studied by means of an incremental finite element method, based on membrane shell theory and formulated ...

Abstract: Fatigue crack growth behavior of explosively-bonded clad steel plates was studied by making fatigue crack growth tests under a constant stress intensity factor range and carrying out a finite ...

Abstract: The numerical analysis of the elasto/visco-plastic dynamic response of the axisymmetrical shells to the time-varying load is carried out by the use of the elasto/visco-plastic overlay model which ...
