The fully classical coupled thermoelasticity problem in a thick hollow cylinder is solved using analytical methods. Finite Hankel transform, Laplace transform and a contemporary innovative method are used to solve the ...

This paper aimed to study the process of shot peening using the combination of the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The shot velocity, shot diameter, coverage percentage and thickness ...

The main purpose of this article is three-dimensional finite element analysis of defected tubes under gas detonation loading. The variation of stress intensity factor through the semi elliptical crack front for different ...

This paper deals with the fracture toughness of three different asphalt mixtures of HMA (Hot Mix Asphalt), WMA (Warm Mix Asphalt) and WMA-RAP (i.e. mixture of WMA and reclaimed asphalt pavement). Fracture tests were performed ...

Investigation of repaired crack in pressure vessels plays a critical role in the maintenance of cylindrical vessels which are under static loads. Pressurized vessels are critical elements in many industries that may be ...

The AZ31 alloy containing nanopowder SiO2, in comparison to other magnesium alloys, can be utilized for manufacturing extruded parts with a high loading rate. The main goal of the present study is to investigate the ...

In this paper by using the three-point bending and low velocity impact tests, the impact damage response of Polyurethane cored sandwich panels with hybrid nanocomposites face-sheets is investigated. The face-sheets are ...

Lubrication as a friction reduction technique has been used in variety of mechanisms and machines. The contacting surfaces depart from each other by the pressure produced in lubricant due to surface wedge shape. In some ...

In this paper, the swelling of the photo-thermal sensitive cylindrical polyelectrolyte hydrogel micro-valve has been studied. For this purpose, a modified constitutive model that considers the polyelectrolyte nature of the ...

In this study, a novel hybrid method was presented by considering the strengths and weaknesses of the two methods of the direct sensitivity method (DSM) and the complex variables method (CVM) and combining them to calculate ...

Phase-field method is one of the recent developed fracture simulation methods which has attracted much interest in the last decade. Phase-field method can precisely simulate the crack nucleation as well as crack propagation ...
