Abstract: We developed models for the dynamic expansion of cylindrical cavities from zero initial radii for compressible, elastic-plastic, rate-independent materials with powerlaw strain-hardening. Results ...

Abstract: We developed an analytical model for the elastic-plastic response of a compressible material from the uniform expansion of a spherically symmetric cavity. Previous models consider the material ...

Abstract: Saddle supports of horizontally mounted pressure vessels, when subject to seismic and mechanical loads, interact with the foundation in a highly non-linear manner. The maximum foundation concrete ...

Abstract: We developed engineering models for forces on rigid, long rods with spherical, ogival, and conical noses that penetrated rate independent, elastic-perfectly plastic targets. The spherical and ...

Abstract: The elastostatic problem of a circumferential edge crack in a cylindrical cavity is investigated. The problem is formulated by means of integral transforms and reduced to a singular integral ...

Abstract: A theory of axially symmetric cutting is used to estimate the resistance to material removal of a composite cylinder undergoing stripping of a peripheral coating. The removal of materials from ...

Abstract: For the analysis of stress distributions around a projectile tip in penetration or perforation, a point force P associated with an expansion source Ez , which depends on the geometry of the ...

Abstract: We developed models for the dynamic expansion of spherical cavities from zero initial radii for elastic-plastic, rate-independent materials with power-law strain hardening. The models considered ...

Abstract: We developed engineering models that predict forces and penetration depth for long, rigid rods with spherical noses and rate-independent, strain-hardening targets. The spherical cavity expansion ...
