Abstract: This paper presents the Eshelby’s tensor of a polygonal inclusion with a polynomial eigenstrain, which can provide an elastic solution to an arbitrary, convex inclusion with a continuously distributed eigenstrain by the ...

Abstract: The paper extends the recent work (Wu, C., and Yin, H., 2021, “Elastic Solution of a Polygon-Shaped Inclusion With a Polynomial Eigenstrain,” ASME J. Appl. Mech., 88(6), p. 061002) of Eshelby’s tensors for polynomial ...

Abstract: When cylinders are packed and wrapped by the bands around the surface, the effective elastic behavior in the cross section of the assembly, which is of significance to its stability and integrity, can be controlled by the ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper studies the force transfer of a large bridge cable containing a broken wire under wrapping force and axial load. Following our recent work, the wrapping force transferred through the contacts between the ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper investigates the effect of embedded particles on energy dissipation and natural frequency in viscoelastic double-clamped beams under harmonic excitations. Using Eshelby’s inclusion method and the ...

Abstract: When cylinders are packed and wrapped by the bands around the surface, the effective elastic behavior in the cross section of the assembly, which is of significance to its stability and integrity, can be controlled by the ...

Abstract: To understand the long-term performance degradation of asphalt, ultraviolet (UV) photo-oxidation has been used to accelerate the aging process. Three types of asphalt binders extracted from reclaimed asphalt pavements ...

Abstract: This study examines the merits of applying a biomodifier (Bio-binder, Sustainable Infrastructure Material Lab, NC A&T State University, Greensboro, North Carolina) as a fog sealant on the surface of bituminous materials ...
