A computational analysis of the utility of chemical reactions within protective structures in mitigating shockwave-impact effects

Mica Grujicic, Jennifer Snipes, S. Ramaswami

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and analyze a new blast-wave impact-mitigation concept using advanced computational methods and tools. The concept involves the use of a…

Addendum to “relaxation and creep in twist and flexure”

Vladimir Kobelev

In this addendum, the purpose of this paper is to introduce the new creep law for the description of the different stages of creep. The introduced creep law generalizes the creep…

A problem of thick circular plate in modified couple stress thermoelastic diffusion with phase-lags

Rajneesh Kumar, Shaloo Devi, Veena Sharma

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the two-dimensional axisymmetric problem in a homogeneous, isotropic modified couple stress thermoelastic diffusion (TD) medium in the…

Two zone modeling of combustion, performance and emission characteristics of a cylinder head porous medium engine with experimental validation

Kannan Chidambaram, Vijayakumar Thulasi

The development of a theoretical model for predicting the combustion, performance and emission characteristics of a cylinder head porous medium engine becomes necessary due to…

An upper-bound finite element solution for rolling of stainless steel 304L under warm and hot deformation conditions

P. Pourabdollah, S. Serajzadeh

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the thermomechanical behavior of stainless steel AISI 304L during rolling at elevated temperatures.

Electromagnetic absorption and thermoelastic analysis of a functionally graded wave absorber

Hongyan Tian, Jianbing Sang, Rihan Ao, Shujun Hou

As a good absorbing material candidate, a functionally graded wave absorber can be tailored to satisfy the impedance match principle by gradually changing material property. The…

Modeling unpredictable failures of 304 construction material in seawater by pitting corrosion and simulate chloride ion distribution by finite element method

Subir Paul

The purpose of this paper is to predict the life of a corroding metallic structure in seawater so that uncertain and unpredictable failures of a structure, leading to accidents…

Design variation of thin-walled composite beam cross-section properties

Aníbal J.J. Valido, João Barradas Cardoso

The purpose of this paper is to present a design sensitivity analysis continuum formulation for the cross-section properties of thin-walled laminated composite beams. These…
