Under cyclic loading, the plastic zone becomes complicated during unloading. The energy-absorbing cyclic plastic zone is a stimulant for crack growth and can be a criterion for determining the damage around the fatigue ...

In this study, crankshaft failure of four-cylinder light-duty truck diesel engine was examined. The failure occurred by fatigue crack growth which was initiated from a surface defect after about 95000 km on the second ...

Recent studies on the mechanics of materials have shown that the ductile fracture is significantly affected by the stress invariants among progressive plastic deformation. In this paper the micro-mechanical Gurson-Tverga ...

In this study, a nonlinear superelastic bending of shape memory alloy (SMA) beam with consideration of the material and geometric nonlinearity effects which are coupled with each other, has been investigated. By using ...

This paper is concerned with the theoretical treatment of thermoelastic problem in multilayer elliptical composite plate and the generation of heat in the body as well as at the interfaces with imperfect thermal contact ...
