Abstract: Macroscopic response and microscopic dislocation structures of Zr-4 subjected to biaxial fatigue under different phase angles of 30°, 60°, 90° and different equivalent strain ranges ...

Abstract: Low cycle fatigue properties of zirconium and zircaloy-4 were investigated at RT and 400°C. The microscopic structure was determined using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron ...

Abstract: In cable-stayed bridges, cable anchorages are subject to significant forces in the structure and carry a heavy stress concentration. The structural features and cable-force transfer pathway of four typical cable-girder ...

Abstract: The effects of different variables on the friction coefficient of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel and stainless steel ball counterpart were investigated by a ball-on-plate friction and wear ...

Abstract: Using a microscopic modeling approach, a simplification of the discrete element’s shape was done by using irregular convex polyhedrons to reproduce the geometry-dependent behavior of rockfills. Numerical modeling of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study on the input parameters used in the discrete-element simulations with gravity. Input parameters of the discrete-element method (DEM) include particle mass (density), damping, gravity constant, ...

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the interlayer slidable friction structures on softsubstrate as the hardcover booklikelaminatedplates with internal friction on the Winkler foundation. For a quasistatic problem, a detailed ...

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the interlayer slidable friction structures on soft-substrate as the hardcover book-like-laminated-plates with internal friction on the Winkler foundation. For a quasi-static problem, a detailed ...
