Elastoviscoplastic Models with Relaxed Configurations and Internal State Variables
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1990)We present the microstructural basis, the initial macroscopical formulations, and a possible axiomatic reconstruction of the elastoviscoplastic model for metals based on the use of the local, ... -
Engineering Analysis via Symbolic Computation — A Breakthrough
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1990)Since the early fifties, when the first codes for symbolic manipulations became available, their development and use have evolved into a scientific discipline. Besides the indisputable gain in ... -
Acoustic Resonance Scattering by Submerged Elastic Shells
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1990)We review a number of instances in which classical acoustic wave scattering from submerged elastic shells can be analyzed in the resonance region of their spectra. We recently reviewed (Refs ... -

Application of the Singularity Expansion Method to Elastic Wave Scattering
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1990)The singularity expansion method (SEM), established originally for electromagnetic-wave scattering by Carl Baum (Proc. IEEE 64 , 1976, 1598), has later been applied also to acoustic scattering ... -
Predicting the Autonomous Behaviour of Simple Nonlinear Feedback Systems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1990)The paper examines in depth two approaches, namely the describing function and Tsypkin methods, for predicting the autonomous behaviour of simple nonlinear feedback systems. Both procedures are ... -
Recent Topics in Constitutive Modeling of Cyclic Plasticity and Viscoplasticity
