Abstract: The treatment of weld residual stress in the fracture assessment of cylindrical pressure vessels is considered through partitioning the stress into membrane, bending, and self-balancing through-wall ...

Abstract: This paper reports the theoretical assessment of cracking which may occur when a severe cycle comprising alternate upshocks and downshocks is applied to an axisymmetric feature with an internal, ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of an experiment in which a severe thermal cycle comprising of alternate upshocks and downshocks has been applied to an axisymmetric feature with an internal, ...

Abstract: An alternative approach to research is described that has been developed through a succession of significant construction management research projects. The approach follows the principles of iterative grounded theory, ...

Abstract: Reconstituted Living Skin Equivalent™ (LSE™) is made up of a dermal equivalent (DE) on which keratinocytes are plated where they give rise to a multilayered differentiated epidermis. The dermal ...

Abstract: Numerous applications require fine-resolution (1–3 m) soil moisture patterns, but most satellite remote sensing and land-surface models provide coarse-resolution (9–6 km) soil moisture estimates. The Equilibrium ...
