Abstract: The work is focused on the modeling of creep-fatigue behavior in austenitic stainless steels in the presence of complex loading histories and multiaxial states of stress. Two interaction models, ...

Abstract: Sintered materials show a different stress-strain behavior when subjected to tensile or compressive loading, the response to compression being characterized by a higher elastic modulus, yield ...

Abstract: The paper reports and discusses the results of an experimental and numerical activity, aimed to the characterization of the influence of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of a few high ...

Abstract: An explicit weight function which allows determination of the stress intensity factor for a semi-elliptical surface crack under arbitrary loading is proposed. It was derived by the approximate ...

Abstract: Transit travel time and operating speed influence service attractiveness, operating cost, and system efficiency. The objective of this paper is to estimate the values of parameters that affect the total travel time for a ...

Abstract: Traffic was studied upstream and downstream of a bottleneck that arose near a freeway lane drop near London, U.K. using archived high-resolution loop detector data. The bottleneck’s location and mean discharge flows were ...

Abstract: In recent years, the techniques for screening transportation networks to identify high crash locations have become more sophisticated with significant data requirements. This paper presents the results of an empirical ...
