Abstract: An antiplane eigenstrain problem of an elliptic inclusion in a two-phase anisotropic medium is analyzed based on the line-force concept. Explicit expressions for the stress field and strain ...

Abstract: Due to the complex mechanism of shear behavior, most current empirical methods do not physically simulate the shear behavior as seen in practice. These approaches, therefore, cannot be directly applied to accommodate ...

Abstract: This paper proposes that the dimensional control of stampings requires not only surface measurement but also measurement of the strain distribution in the part. A simple model of forming a ...

Abstract: Explicit expressions are obtained for the stress and displacement fields near the tip of a rigid line inhomogeneity subjected to an inclined loading. It is shown that the tip stress field, ...

Abstract: At the end of 2006, defects were identified using ultrasonic testing in three of the pressurizer nozzle dissimilar metal (DM) welds at the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant. Understanding welding ...

Abstract: This paper presents a global–local methodology for predicting mechanical deformation and fatigue durability of solder joints in electronic packaging systems subject to cyclic thermal loading. It ...

Abstract: An experimental system for single-phase gas flow in microtubes has been developed. The effects of viscous heating and compressibility on the flow and temperature field were studied for a wide ...

Abstract: Aerostatic stability of super long-span bridges is a much concerned issue during the design stage. Typical aerostatic instability is the so-called torsional divergence which may lead to abrupt structural failure. The ...

Abstract: This article presents the results of an investigation of the wind-induced resonance of hangers on a long-span suspension bridge. The data from field observations, numerical simulations, and wind tunnel experiments presented ...
