Abstract: Numerical analyses of micro-EHL problems have shown remarkably different results with Newtonian and non-Newtonian rheological models. However, no consensus has been reached whether a Newtonian model ...

Abstract: The paper initially presents the results of a dynamic structural integrity assessment for fracture of cracked plate and tubular members under sinusoidal loading at different frequencies. The ...

Abstract: A technique for elastic-plastic analysis of a thick-walled elastic-plastic cylinder under internal pressure is proposed. It involves two parametric functions and piecewise linearization of the ...

Abstract: Welding is the primary joining process used in the construction and repair of railroad tank cars. Since recent federal regulations have emphasized the need for fatigue life analyses, and since ...

Abstract: The rigid hanger is one of the main load-bearing components in a rigid tied-arch bridge that is common used in high-speed railway lines, and the mechanism for influences of train loads on the hangers’ transverse vibration ...
