Abstract: The yield resistance of a coated sphere subjected to normal contact loading is studied based on a finite element analysis. Moderately hard coatings that were omitted in previous literature are considered. A maximum ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical solution is obtained for the magnetoelastic response of a multilayered and functionally graded cylinder with an embedded dynamic polynomial eigenstrain. The internal core of the cylinder endures ...

Abstract: mprovements on nonhydrostatic atmospheric models such as MM5 in the last few decades have enhanced our understanding of the precipitation mechanism affected by topography and nonlinear dynamics of the atmosphere. This study ...

Abstract: Eddy current damping has been widely applied in mechanical engineering; however, its adaptation for civil engineering applications remains rather limited due to its low density of energy dissipation. This study presents ...

Abstract: Random decrement technique (RDT) is a popular time-domain approach to extract modal properties of structures from ambient vibration data; however, it may result in poor estimation results when structural modes are closely ...

Abstract: Based upon large-scale model tests conducted at Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute, China, the surface erosion and intermittent mass failure along a dam’s axis and the formation of headcut and its migration in the ...

Abstract: As a relatively new type of functional material, porous graphite foam exhibits unique thermophysical properties. It possesses the advantages of low density, high specific surface area, and high bulk thermal conductivity ...
