Abstract: The present paper explores the Airy stress function for a general class of elastic dislocation problems in a doubly connected region. The basic concept of the elastic theory and the dislocation ...

Abstract: The nascent field of spintronics has great potential to enable new types of information processing and storage devices and supplement conventional semiconductor electronics. An overview of nanoscale ...

Abstract: Subambient temperature operations of advanced semiconductor devices offer many benefits, including improved reliability, reduced leakage currents, and enhanced signal to noise ratios. We discuss a ...

Abstract: In wind turbine blade modeling, the coupling between rotor rotational motion and blade vibration has not been thoroughly investigated. The inclusion of the coupling terms in the wind turbine dynamics equations helps us ...

Abstract: A nonlinear finite element method was used to investigate the derailments of trains moving on multispan simply supported bridges due to damage to suspension systems. At the simulation beginning, the initial vertical ...

Abstract: A micromechanical anisotropic damage model is presented for uniaxially reinforced (brittle matrix) composites weakened by an ensemble of (fiber/matrix) interfacial microcracks. All microcracks are ...

Abstract: This paper explores the use of a three-dimensional finite-element analysis to model soil vibrations due to high-speed trains on bridges. Finite-element meshes include the bridge superstructure, bridge foundations, nearby ...

Abstract: A series of column tests on cold-formed steel built-up closed sections with intermediate stiffeners is presented in this paper. The test specimens were first brake pressed from structural steel sheets to form open sections ...
