Abstract: The stress field generated in an elastic layer by normally loaded, periodically spaced circular contacts is analyzed. It is intended that this model represent a pair of rough, plated contact ...

Abstract: This paper outlines the development of a general macroscopic failure theory. The result is a relatively simple cubic equation where interaction coefficients for tension-tension and compression-compression ...

Abstract: Necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the onset of shear flow localization in thermal viscoplastic materials are derived. Initiation of shear band formation is examined through the analysis ...

Abstract: Necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the onset of shear flow localization in thermal viscoplastic materials were derived by Shawki (1994) through the analysis of a one-dimensional model of ...

Abstract: The S3 semisubmerged ship concept consists basically of two parallel torpedo-like hulls, submerged to a depth of about two diameters and attached to an above-water platform by means of four ...

Abstract: Geocells are three-dimensional expandable panels with a wide range of applications in geotechnical engineering. A geocell is made up of many internally connected single cells. The current study discusses the joint strength ...

Abstract: High-rise construction projects commonly use a tower crane attached to the building by braced connections along its height. The presence of the tower crane modifies the aerodynamic cross section of the building and can ...
