A Finite Element Method Study of Combined Hydraulic and Thermal Autofrettage Process
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)Autofrettage is a metal working process of inducing compressive residual stresses in the vicinity of the inner surface of a thick-walled cylindrical or spherical pressure vessel for increasing its pressure capacity, fatigue ... -
The Stress-Sensitivity, Mesh-Dependence, and Convergence of Continuum Damage Mechanics Models for Creep
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)The classic Kachanov–Rabotnov (KR) creep damage model is a popular model for the design against failure due to creep deformation. However, the KR model is a local approach that can exhibit numerically unstable damage with ... -
Finite Difference-Based Cellular Automaton Technique for Structural and Fluid–Structure Interaction Applications
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)A new cellular automaton technique was developed based on the finite difference scheme to analyze structures such as beams and plates as well as the acoustic wave equation. The technique uses rules for a cell, and the rules ... -
