Abstract: Local distortions in the support(s) allow beams to rotate at their built-in end(s). The effect of these rotations is included in the classical equations for the deflections and stresses in ...

Abstract: A beam is cantilevered from a semi-infinite solid with neutral axis normal to its bounding plane (two-dimensional problem). Deformation of the supporting solid allows the beam to rotate about ...

Abstract: Bending tests were run on a series of aluminum beam specimens perforated in triangular and square arrays. Progressively thinner specimens were tested down to 1/8 the thickness covered by the ...

Abstract: The sheet perforated with circular holes arranged in a square penetration pattern anp subjected to in-plane biaxial stress is investigated. Discontinuous fields of stress are used to obtain the ...

Abstract: Fatigue design criteria for pressure vessel steels are developed herein based on analysis of available material data between room temperature and 427 C (800 F). Strain-controlled low-cycle and ...

Abstract: The significant loss of fatigue life owing to the presence of a crack, crack-like defect, or sharp notch is predicted herein from theoretical considerations. Fatigue notch factors are given as ...

Abstract: Methods for performing finite element stress analysis of perforated plates under pressure and complex thermal loading conditions are described. The concept of the equivalent solid material of ...

Abstract: This paper describes a method for calculating stresses and deflections in perforated plates with a triangular penetration pattern. The method is based partly on theory and partly on experiment. ...

Abstract: A method of including the local flexibility due to cross-sectional warping at axisymmetric junctures is presented. Local flexibility coefficients are derived which have very general applicability ...
