Abstract: In the present paper, ductile crack growth in an aluminium alloy is numerically simulated using a cohesive zone model under both plane stress and plane strain conditions for two different ...

Abstract: This article presents a practical multivariate linear-based model for modeling and separation of thermal effects from the cable-stayed bridge response. First, the discrete typical thermal loadings, which are the variables ...

Abstract: The classical problem of inward solidification heat transfer inside a spherical capsule, with an application to thermal energy storage (TES), was revisited in the presence of nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCM). ...

Abstract: Abstract In this study, the pressure-cast-in-situ pile with spray-expanded frustum (PPSF) was proposed to increase pile bearing capacity, reduce pile settlement, and improve construction speed. The construction process of ...
