Abstract: Transverse isotropy, a typical property of coating providing protection or lubrication for transmission parts, is different from isotropy focused in most of previous research, catching increasing attention in recent years. ...

Abstract: Deployable satellite antenna structure has a bright prospect in high power space-borne antennas for strict telecommunication tasks. The alternating hot and cold environment in space as well as the nonuniform distribution ...

Abstract: External heat flux often induces deformation or vibration in space structures comprised of thin-walled tubes. Efficient and real-time thermal-structural dynamic analysis is essential for the reliable operation and optimal ...

Abstract: Gears are widely used in machines to transmit torque from one shaft to another shaft and to change the speed of a power source. Gear failure is one of the major causes for mechanical transmission system breakdown. Therefore, ...

Abstract: This paper reports a new three-dimensional model for heat conduction in a half-space containing inhomogeneities, applicable to frictional heat transfer, together with a novel combined algorithm of the equivalent inclusion ...

Abstract: The plastic zone developed during elastoplastic contact may be effectively modeled as an inclusion in an isotropic half space. This paper proposes a simple but efficient computational method to analyze the stresses caused ...

Abstract: The present work proposes a new efficient numerical solution method based on Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method (EIM) to study the influence of distributed inhomogeneities on the contact of inhomogeneous materials. ...

Abstract: The celebrated solution of the Eshelby ellipsoidal inclusion has laid the cornerstone for many fundamental aspects of micromechanics. A well-known difficulty of this classical solution is to determine the elastic field ...
