Abstract: The occurrence of PWR steam generator tube cracking, denting, and wastage has been reported in the recent literature [1–5]. As indicated by its title, this paper concerns itself with the ...

Abstract: A finite element model to simulate the elastic and slip responses of fusion magnets under operating loads is proposed. To represent the elastic actions, a material homogenization procedure based ...

Abstract: Concrete constitutive relations which can simulate the overall material behavior up to and including its ultimate state under general triaxial loading conditions have been developed. The proposed ...

Abstract: The moiré method is combined with hologram interferometry to obtain the three displacements of an arbitrarily deformed plane in the three-dimensional space. Double beam interference patterns are ...

Abstract: A complete constitutive relationship for the time‐independent nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete is presented. The nonlinear features include the inelastic responses of concrete and steel reinforcements, prediction ...

Abstract: An automatic subincrementing technique for numerical integration of viscoplastic constitutive rate equations is investigated for finite element analysis. The technique has two major features: estimate of error and determination ...
