Abstract: Novel hybrid-matrix composites with alternating metallic matrices of different plastic flow resistance offer excellent potential for a superior strength and toughness combination than traditional ...

Abstract: Explicit analytical expressions are derived to predict the distortional buckling stress of thin‐walled channel section columns with a range of section geometries, including column types used for industrial storage racks. ...

Abstract: A unified size-effect model based on the weakest-link brittle fracture theory has been developed to represent statistical size effects in visually graded structural lumber. Test results from published studies and new results ...

Abstract: A combined experimental-numerical approach has been developed to quantify the strain rate variation of the workpiece in the roll bite region. In this approach, cold rolling experiments at a ...
