Abstract: An inverse finite element (FE) algorithm is used to develop a sheet forming process modeling module and numeric models are extracted out of the process modeling results. Both the representation ...

Abstract: Using an idealized planar single crystal model undergoing symmetrical double slip in tension, the effect of rate sensitivity on shear band initiation and on shear band development is analysed. ...

Abstract: The dynamic characteristics and stability of the annular pressure seal employed in pumps have been theoretically deduced with consideration of the effects of elastic deformation due to the high ...

Abstract: Two methods of upper bound solutions were used to calculate the needed support pressure

Abstract: A system identification technique is presented for nondestructive test to detect and to characterize the existence and location of cracks and other damages in composite structures. Various composite ...

Abstract: In this paper, the combined optimization algorithm (immune-genetic algorithm) is proposed for multioptimization problems by introducing the capability of the immune system to the genetic algorithm. ...

Abstract: The Random Decrement Technique has shown promise as an inspection technique for offshore structures. The major advantage of this technique is that it requires only measurements of the dynamic ...

Abstract: In this study, the dynamic behavior of bed-load sediments under unsteady flow conditions is experimentally investigated and discussed. A series of experiments were conducted in a 6-m-long laboratory flume with naturally ...

Abstract: To investigate the influence of the shielding gas pressure on the laser cut quality, a series of experiments was conducted for various cutting conditions. The cutting pressure distribution was ...
