Abstract: In sequential of multistep forming operations, the material which has already undergone permanent deformation is expected to behave differently in each stage of deformation than the as-received ...

Abstract: Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is a rising health concern of soldiers deployed in modern-day military conflicts. For bTBI, blast wave loading is a cause, and damage incurred to brain tissue is the effect. There ...

Abstract: Liquid storage tanks (LSTs)—lifeline structures—must remain functional after earthquake events. Concerns regarding high sloshing and isolator displacement have led to the use of base isolation technology to mitigate seismic ...

Abstract: In the present investigation, we have studied the influence of sheet thickness on the limiting strain, i.e., forming limit, of a mild steel by punch stretching experiments. Our results show ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation of turbulent boundary layers in shallow open channel flows at low Reynolds numbers are presented. The study was aimed at extending the database ...

Abstract: An analytical diffusion model for flood routing which can take into account backwater effect and lateral flows has been developed. The model is applied to route the floods in a hypothetical rectangular channel with different ...

Abstract: A one‐dimensional three‐phase solute‐transport model is developed to simulate the vertical movement of contaminants in the unsaturated region above the water table. The solute transfer across the air‐water, water‐solid, ...

Abstract: The development of a one-dimensional finite strain elasto-plastic shell model appropriate for use in modelling straight drawbeads is outlined. Numerical results obtained using a finite element ...

Abstract: Yttria and alumina have been used with particular success, either singly or in combination, as densification aids for hot pressing and sintering of silicon nitride. To obtain desirable mechanical, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a set of experimental results concerning the evolution of yield loci for anisotropic materials in the course of finite shear deformation history. Thin walled tubes of SAE ...
