Discussion of “Fracture Analysis of High Strength Concrete Members” by Rajandra K. Navalurkar and Cheng-Tzu Thomas Hsu
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Easy-to-Compute Tensors With Symmetric Inverse Approximating Hencky Finite Strain and Its Rate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is shown that there exist approximations of the Hencky (logarithmic) finite strain tensor of various degrees of accuracy, having the following characteristics: (1) The tensors are close enough ...
Vision of the Future of Solid Mechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Although mechanics is the oldest field of science, it is still advancing rapidly, driven, in all areas of technology, by the need:to develop fundamental understanding of material and system ...
Scaling of Quasi-Brittle Fracture and the Fractal Question
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper represents an extended text of a lecture presenting a review of recent results on scaling of failure in structures made of quasibrittle materials, characterized by a large fracture ...
Discussion of “<i>Strength of Concrete Slabs in Punching Shear</i>” by Da‐Hua Jiang and Jing‐Hua Shen (Dec. 1986, Vol. 112, No. 12)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion: Algebraic Methods for Creep Analysis of Continuous Composite Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Closure to “Inelastic Buckling of Concrete Column in Braced Frame” by Zdeněk P. Bažant
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Softening Instability: Part I—Localization Into a Planar Band
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Distributed damage such as cracking in heterogeneous brittle materials may be approximately described by a strain-softening continuum. To make analytical solutions feasible, the continuum is assumed ...
Softening Instability: Part II—Localization Into Ellipsoidal Regions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Extending the preceding study of exact solutions for finite-size strain-softening regions in layers and infinite space, exact solution of localization instability is obtained for the localization ...
Discussion of “<i>Creep Effects in Composite Beams with Flexible Shear Connectors</i>” by Angelo Marcello Tarantino and Luigino Dezi (August, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 8)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
