Abstract: Manson has given a well-known conventional approach to thermal shock problems in a plate. In his investigation, however, the inertia term and the thermomechanical coupling term were neglected ...

Abstract: The transient thermal stresses in a composite circular cylinder are examined when the coupling term is taken into account. The solution is valid for the whole time interval without approximation. ...

Abstract: Due to the complex nature of the excitation, and the inherent dynamics characteristics of restoring force of the base isolation systems, the response of base-isolated structures subject to strong earthquakes often experiences ...

Abstract: The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) is a D+–Li neutron source aimed at producing an intense high energy neutron flux (2 MW/m2) for testing candidate fusion reactor ...
