Abstract: An analytical solution is presented for the borehole problem of an elasto-plastic plane strain body containing a traction-free circular hole and subjected to uniform far field stress. A strain ...

Abstract: Statistical models that describe the relationship between crash frequency and its influencing factors have been widely studied for the last three decades. Most of the existing methodologies use these models with count data ...

Abstract: Damage modeling of metallic materials under high strain rate loading conditions is reviewed. The emphasis is on the modeling efforts based on continuum damage mechanics, although many important ...

Abstract: A general solution for the stress and strain fields in a three-layer composite tube subjected to internal and external pressures and temperature changes is first derived using thermo-elasticity. ...

Abstract: The stress relaxation behavior of a Twaron CT709® fabric/natural rubber composite under a uniaxial constant strain is studied using three viscoelasticity models with different levels of ...

Abstract: Modern military operations, technology-driven war tactics, and current on-street weapons and ammunition necessitate the development of advanced ballistic protection body armor systems that are ...
