Biaxial Yield for Nonlinearly Viscoelastic Materials with a Strain Clock
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-03)
A constitutive equation with a dilatation dependent reduced time is used to model the mechanical response of solid amorphous polymers such as polycarbonate. Such constitutive equations have the property that stress relaxation ...
Design of part family robust-to-production plan variations based on quantitative manufacturability evaluation
(Springer-Verlag, 2002-11)
This paper presents a systematic method for designing part families whose production costs are insensitive to changes in production plans due to market demand fluctuations. A unified feature-based representation of functional ...
Role of preheating and specific energy input on the evolution of microstructure and wear properties of laser clad Fe-Cr-C-W alloys
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-07)
Synthesis of Fe-Cr-C-W alloy (10 : 4 : 1 : 1, wt(%)) was carried out on AISI 1016 steel substrate using laser cladding technique which lead to the development of a suitable alternate for cobalt bearing wear resistant alloys. ...
Composite material design of two-dimensional structures using the homogenization design method
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2001-03-30)
Composite materials of two-dimensional structures are designed using the homogenization design method. The composite material is made of two or three different material phases. Designing the composite material consists of ...
A family of single-step Houbolt time integration algorithms for structural dynamics
(Elsevier, 1994-09)
A new family of implicit, single-step time integration methods is presented for solving structural dynamics problems. The proposed method is unconditionally stable, second-order accurate and asymptotically annihilating. ...
Modeling the large inelastic deformation response of non-filled and silica filled SL5170 cured resin
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-09)
In recent years, important efforts have been focused on rapid production of tools using Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (RP&M) technologies such as the Stereo-Lithography Apparatus (SLA). One of the applications is the ...
Cavitation instability in rubber with consideration of failure
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-04)
Cavitation instability in rubber is investigated by examining spherical void expansion in rubber particles under dead-load traction conditions. Spherical symmetry is assumed to simplify the governing equations in order to ...
Optimal design of piezoelectric microstructures
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-04)
Application of piezoelectric materials requires an improvement in their performance characteristics which can be obtained by designing new topologies of microstructures (or unit cells) for these materials. The topology of ...
Reconstruction of curved solids from two polygonal orthographic views
(Elsevier, 1992-03)
It has long been known that the 2-view orthographic representation of a mechanical part is ambiguous. Existing literature addresses the recognition/reconstruction of solids (mostly polyhedral solids) from either 1-view ...
Preprocessing and postprocessing for materials based on the homogenization method with adaptive finite element methods
(Elsevier, 1990-10)
This paper discusses the homogenization method to determine the effective average elastic constants of linear elasticity of general composite materials by considering their microstructure. After giving a brief theory of ...
