Abstract: In this paper, the linear stability criterion for Eady's problem is proved to be also a nonlinear stability one. Upper bounds for the disturbance potential enstrophy, the disturbance energy, and the disturbance available ...

Abstract: A general probabilistic fatigue-crack growth prediction methodology for accurate and efficient damage prognosis is proposed in this paper. The methodology is based on an equivalent stress transformation and the inverse ...

Abstract: The corrosion-induced bond degradation between corroded steel strands and concrete is investigated in the present study. Ten pull-out specimens with different corrosion levels were tested to study corrosion’s effects on ...

Abstract: An analytical model is proposed in this paper to evaluate the residual flexural strength for corroded RC beams. The steel slipping caused by bond degradation is included in the proposed model. Various failure modes of beams ...

Abstract: An experimental study is proposed to compare the corrosion-induced flexural behavior deterioration of beams with various bar types and bar diameters. The proposed study aims to distinguish the effects of the corrosion of ...
