Simple Semi‐Loof Element for Analyzing Folded‐Plate Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a simple semi‐Loof plate bending element. Unlike Irons' semi‐Loof element (reported in 1976), it is not necessary to construct any Kirchhoff‐constraint equations for the proposed element. The complementary ...
Cyclic Strength of Sand under Sustained Shear Stress
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The existence of initial shear stress can have a significant effect on the cyclic strength or liquefaction potential of sand. This effect is not yet fully understood because of a lack of convergence and consistency in the ...
Cooling Rate Effect on Post Cure Stresses in Molded Plastic IC Packages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Residual stresses during cool down process after curing are evaluated on the basis of thermoviscoelastic finite element analyses with material properties dependent on both time and temperature. ...
Characterization of Notched Ductile Failure With Continuum Damage Mechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A recently developed anisotropic model of continuum damage mechanics has been applied successfully to characterize ductile fracture of cracked plates under mode I and mixed mode failures. The ...
Further Studies of the Interface Boundary Conditions for Bolted Flanged Connections
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the design of bolted flanged connections, the a-priori unknown interface contact stress condition is an important factor, determining directly whether leakage is probable and, indirectly, the ...
The Interface Boundary Conditions for Bolted Flanged Connections
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In most bolted connections, the unknown interface pressure distribution and the extent of the contact region are essential parameters in any stress analysis. Concerning these parameters, experimental ...
Fiber-Optic Monitoring of a Twin Circular Shaft Excavation: Development of Circumferential Forces and Bending Moments in Diaphragm Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigated the behavior of a 38-m deep twin circular peanut-shaped cofferdam interconnected with a rectangular section for cut-and-cover tunnel construction using distributed fiber-optic sensors (DFOSs) based ...
