Abstract: In this work, we apply the multiscale cohesive method ( and , 2010, “A Multiscale Cohesive Zone Model and Simulations of Fracture,” Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng., 199, pp. 547–556) to ...

Abstract: In this work, a soft matter cell model is proposed to simulate the cellular cytoskeleton network and motions of intermediate filaments during cell contact and adhesion, in an attempt to explain mechanical information ...

Abstract: This special issue of ASME Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology includes 14 papers on heterogeneous solids and composite materials, which are selected from those in the topical area ...

Abstract: Recent developments of meshfree and particle methods and their applications in applied mechanics are surveyed. Three major methodologies have been reviewed. First, smoothed particle hydrodynamics ...

Abstract: The work is concerned with the characterization of a Kirchhoff diffraction field in a piezoelectric material. An exact solution is obtained for the full scattering fields around the tip of a ...

Abstract: This work is concerned with the precise characterization of the elastic fields due to a spherical inclusion embedded within a spherical representative volume element (RVE). The RVE is considered ...

Abstract: In this part of the work, the Eshelby tensors of a finite spherical domain are applied to various homogenization procedures estimating the effective material properties of multiphase composites. ...

Abstract: A method of analysis is presented that concerns the inelastic stability of beam columns subjected to transverse loads. A computer program based on the ALGOL‐60 language is developed to analyze three different loading cases. ...

Abstract: Many state highway agencies are using quality control/quality assurance construction smoothness specifications that provide for contractors’ pay to be proportional to the riding comfort of the constructed new pavement. ...

Abstract: A novel interphase model is constructed based on the double-inclusion theory and the Eshelby tensor in a finite domain, which can be used to calculate the effective material properties of three-phase composites. The ...
