Abstract: Low-carbon, medium-nitrogen 316 stainless steel is a principal candidate for a main structural material of a demonstration fast breeder reactor plant in Japan. A number of long-term creep tests ...

Abstract: An interfacial contact process due to power law creep is studied using a finite element technique. The contact process is assumed to be produced by power law creep alone after initial intimate ...

Abstract: Interfacial contacting processes under a high temperature and a high bonding pressure (T = 973 K, P = 30 MPa) are experimentally studied, using oxygen free copper. The faying surfaces were ...

Abstract: Adverse effects of deterministic disturbances in linear identification are pointed out. The deterministic disturbance rejector (DDR) is introduced to remove such effects in discrete-time series-parallel ...

Abstract: The optimization of bounded feedback gains with respect to an arbitrary integral performance criterion is performed using nonlinear programming. The gradient projection method has been applied to ...

Abstract: A dynamic system identification technique is described in which a digital computer model is constructed and adjusted until the model state transient follows the system state transient to a ...

Abstract: Viscoplastic intimate contact process of uneven surfaces is numerically studied by using the finite element model proposed in our previous paper. The model treats only the case that the interfacial ...

Abstract: The intimate contacting of rough surfaces in the solid state bonding of metals is modeled by a finite element method. The finite element method can be applied to the large deformation process ...

Abstract: Temperature-history dependence in anisothermal cyclic plasticity of 304 stainless steel is studied for the constitutive modeling within the temperature range from room temperature to 600°C. ...
