Abstract: Out-of-plane strains and stresses are determined using reciprocity for the central region of very long bars (approaching infinite length) of uniform transverse cross section subjected to the same ...

Abstract: A fatigue model is presented for plain concrete subjected to random loadings in compression. Hysteretic nonlinear behavior of concrete is incorporated to express the cumulative fatigue damage in terms of the residual plastic ...

Abstract: A new approach to directly convert a target response spectrum to an equivalent power spectral density (PSD) function is presented that requires no numerical iterations. Following the same approximation scheme used in Monte ...

Abstract: A random‐vibration approach for uniaxial and biaxial nonlinear structures is presented based on the stochastic equivalent‐linearization method. By modifying and combining existing modeling techniques, a unified hysteretic ...

Abstract: The object of this paper is to present in a systematic way a general method to determine whole fields of displacements and of their space and time derivatives. The method can be called ...

Abstract: The knowledge of the partial derivatives of displacement components is essential in strain analysis. Two methods of determining these partial derivatives using moiré effects are presented in ...

Abstract: In the present investigation, an FEM code SHPROL has been developed for three-dimensional simulations of shape rolling processes. SHPROL is capable of handling arbitrary roll profiles and follows ...

Abstract: In this paper, a tracking control of hydroforming pressure which is used for precision forming of sheet metals, is considered. In this process, forming pressure of the process needs to be ...

Abstract: In order to evaluate the material properties of Class U wheel steel under cyclic loading, low-cycle fatigue tests were conducted at room temperature on specimens taken from the rim of the ...
