Abstract: This state-of-the-art review identifies and discusses the existing methods of predicting the high-cycle fatigue life, their limitations, and base-technology needs. The cycle stress-strain approach ...

Abstract: A method for the analysis of the fatigue crack growth rate for short cracks has been developed and is applied to the case of fatigue crack growth of short surface cracks in a 1045 carbon ...

Abstract: A new theory was developed for the fluid-filled semi-infinite tube model subjected to pressure impulse. The new model takes into account the shear and flexural waves of the elastic tube. The ...

Abstract: A waveguide absorber removes and dissipates vibrational energy from a structure by traveling waves. The performance of a wave guide absorber is determined by the driving point impedance. In ...

Abstract: A waveguide absorber is a device mounted on a vibrating structure at the selected points to transfer energy from the structure to the device which dampens the energy. The waveguide absorbers ...

Abstract: Offshore pipelines are to be stabilized against external loading caused mainly by wave and currents. When pipelines are placed in a trench, the forces acting on them are reduced considerably. To investigate the stability ...
