Abstract: The wrong figure was used for Fig. 1 of the subject paper (1). Instead, this Fig. 1 should have been used, as was pointed out in the galley proof corrections sent to ASME on December 23, 2003.

Abstract: A thermoelastic model for analyzing laminated composite plates under both mechanical and thermal loadings is constructed by the variational asymptotic method. The original three-dimensional nonlinear thermoelasticity problem ...

Abstract: A geometrically nonlinear shear deformation theory has been developed for elastic shells to accommodate a constitutive model suitable for composite shells when modeled as a two-dimensional continuum. ...

Abstract: The original three-dimensional elasticity problem of isotropic prismatic beams has been solved analytically by the variational asymptotic method (VAM). The resulting classical model (Euler-Bernoulli-like) ...

Abstract: This paper presents a case history study of a tunnel in the cold plateau region of China. It describes the permafrost distribution of the mountain in which the tunnel is located and the observed air and surrounding rock ...
