Abstract: The anisotropic poroelastic constitutive model is reexamined in this article. The assumptions and conclusions of previous works, i.e., Thompson and Willis and Cheng, are compared and clarified. The micromechanics of ...

Abstract: The stress analysis based on thin shell theory is presented for a cylindrical shell with a normally intersecting nozzle subjected to three kinds of branch pipe forces, which are tension and ...

Abstract: Owing to their superior mechanical and physical properties, carbon nanotubes seem to hold a great promise as an ideal reinforcing material for composites of high-strength and low-density. In ...

Abstract: Rocks underground often have pores and bedding planes, which are appropriate to be described by the transversely isotropic poroelastic constitutive model. Drilling boreholes in these rocks must be careful, since stresses ...

Abstract: Stretchability of the stretchable and flexible electronics involves the post-buckling behaviors of internal connectors that are designed into various shapes of curved beams. The linear displacement–curvature relation is ...

Abstract: A universal design method for pressurized cylindrical shells with attached nozzles subjected to external forces (moments) and internal pressure are presented, based on theoretical stress analysis. ...

Abstract: An improved version of the analytical solutions by , and co-workers (1991, “Some Results on Analytical Solution of Cylindrical Shells With Large Opening,” ASME J. Pressure Vessel Technol., 113, ...
