Multiparticle Effective Field and Related Methods in Micromechanics of Composite Materials
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)The numerous approaches used in micromechanics can be classified into four broad categories: perturbation methods, self-consistent methods of truncation of a hierarchy, variational methods, and the ... -
Developments, ideas, and evaluations based upon Reissner’s Mixed Variational Theorem in the modeling of multilayered plates and shells
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)This review article is devoted to the use of the Reissner Mixed Variational Theorem (RMVT) forward two-dimensional modeling of flat and curved, multilayer structures. A thorough review of the ... -
The Role of Friction in Mechanical Joints
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)Vibration properties of most assembled mechanical systems depend on frictional damping in joints. The nonlinear transfer behavior of the frictional interfaces often provides the dominant damping ... -
Topology optimization of continuum structures: A review*
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)It is of great importance for the development of new products to find the best possible topology or layout for given design objectives and constraints at a very early stage of the design ... -
Asymptotic Theories of Large-Scale Motion, Temperature, and Moisture Distribution in Land-Based Polythermal Ice Sheets: A Critical Review and New Developments
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)A review is given of the theory of polythermal ice sheets, ie, ice masses of which the ice has submelting temperatures in certain subdomains and is at the pressure melting point in other ... -
Sandwich Structures

Hydrodynamics of diffusive processes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)This paper presents a state of art review of the diffusion induced hydrodynamic processes. The conservation equations are derived by making use of Onsager’s reciprocity relations and basic ... -
Conformal mapping, variational methods, and acoustic emission in mechanical cables
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)I apologize sincerely for using the title of the book I coauthored with R Schinzinger (Elsevier, 1991) for this section of my Retrospective, but it summarizes my modest work on the subject ... -
Review of inverse analysis for indirect measurement of impact force
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)When dealing with the mechanics of deformable bodies, the variation of the applied force is one of the most important factors to be considered. The mechanical force acting on a body cannot ... -
A historical survey of some mathematical aspects of Newtonian fluid flows
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)This article deals with a survey of the Newtonian fluid dynamics equations with some historical notes and a discussion related to the solvability of fluid flows problems. On the way, we discuss ... -
Moving boundaries in micro-scale biofluid dynamics
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)Many critical issues in biofluid dynamics occur at the boundaries between fluids, solids, or both. These issues can be very complex since in many cases the boundaries are deformable and moving. ...
