The Eshelby Tensors in a Finite Spherical Domain—Part I: Theoretical Formulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work is concerned with the precise characterization of the elastic fields due to a spherical inclusion embedded within a spherical representative volume element (RVE). The RVE is considered ...
The Eshelby Tensors in a Finite Spherical Domain—Part II: Applications to Homogenization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this part of the work, the Eshelby tensors of a finite spherical domain are applied to various homogenization procedures estimating the effective material properties of multiphase composites. ...
Interphase Model for Effective Moduli of Nanoparticle-Reinforced Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A novel interphase model is constructed based on the double-inclusion theory and the Eshelby tensor in a finite domain, which can be used to calculate the effective material properties of three-phase composites. The ...
Computer Modeling and Weight Limit Analysis for Bridge Structure Fatigue Using OpenSEES
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the increasing demand in freight transportation, truck overloading has become a common issue worldwide. Overloaded trucks pose great challenges for transportation administration in that they can jeopardize the safety ...
Multiscale Homogenization Analysis of the Effective Elastic Properties of Masonry Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The asymptotic homogenization method of differential equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients is used to evaluate the effective elastic stiffness of masonry structures. The equilibrium equations as well as the ...
Effective Elastic Stiffness for Periodic Masonry Structures via Eigenstrain Homogenization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The equivalent periodic eigenstrain method is used to evaluate the effective elastic stiffness of periodic masonry structure. An Eshelby tensor, for a unit cell of the periodic masonry structure, is derived analytically, ...
