Abstract: This paper presents the results of the investigation concerning the stability of the motion of a connecting rod. For simplicity in analysis, the rod is assumed to have a constant cross-sectional ...

Abstract: We study plane strain thermomechanical deformations of a square block made of steel, and model a material defect in it by a rigid non-heat-conducting ellipsoidal inclusion located at the center ...

Abstract: We study plane strain thermomechanical deformations of a prismatic viscoplastic body of square cross-section and deformed at a nominal strain-rate of 5000 s−1 . The body has two thin layers ...

Abstract: A multiaxial theory of creep deformation for particle-strengthened metal-matrix composites is derived. This derivation is based on the observation that there are two major sources of creep ...
