Magnesium alloys are a unique choicefor orthopedic implants due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. In this article, the impact of hot-extrusion process is investigated on microhardness, microstructure, and ...

For existing reinforced concrete structures exposed to freeze-thaw conditions, there is an increasing engineering concernover their remaining safety. This paper presents a novel experimental-theoretical stochastic model ...

This paper presents two-dimensional stress and strain behavior of a FG rotating cylindrical shell subjected to internal-external pressure, surface shear stresses due to friction, an external torque, and constant temperature ...

This paper focuses on reducing stress concentration in a plate with a hole. For this purpose, a novel Reliever Topological Material Elimination (RTME) approach was introduced which uses the topology optimization technique ...

In this study, a two-stage damage identification approach based on modal flexibility differences and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) was applied to localize and quantify damages in large-scale double-layer truss ...

In this paper, a mixed modeling approach for orthotropic laminated plates is developed. By adopting Hellinger-Reissner functional and dimension reduction method along the thickness, the governing equations were derived. By ...

In this article, analytical and numerical methods were employed to study swelling behavior of a cylindrical shell made of a functionally graded temperature sensitive hydrogel. The hydrogel shell has gradient property ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a design procedure for Langevin ultrasonic transducers with lateral dimensions larger than a quarter of the longitudinal wave length. In this case, the assumption of the one-dimens ...

In this article, a vibrational behavior of sandwich beams with stiff and flexible cores and face sheets reinforced with carbon nanotubes is investigated. Carbon nanotubes are used as materials with properties varying along ...

The aim of this paper is to compare incremental and integral techniques in non-uniform residual stress measurement by the ring-core method and to present a procedure to determine the calibration coefficients of the ...

In this paper by employing ANSYS Workbench software and three-dimensional finite element simulation, failure analysis of hybrid bonded and bolted single and double lap joints with laminated composite adherends subjected ...
