...Sha Xu; Hao Chen; Yali Yang; Kun Gao Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and finite element method are combined to study the damage behavior of aluminum alloy resistance spot-welded joints. Fatigue damage of spot-welded joints under different cyclic loading stages was obtained by X-ray...

... and expected capacities. This paper aims to investigate the bond behavior between the CFRP-concrete interface via experimental work and finite element (FE) simulations. The experimental study consisted in testing nine concrete prisms with different bonded lengths of the CFRP plates that vary between 25% (60 mm...

... probably no significant influence on the experimental composite properties. It is, therefore, convincing not to integrate the effect of interphase formation in the current study. Comparison between experimental and hybrid MD-finite element, Mori-Tanaka, and Reuss results A theoretically...

...Wensong Yang; Assimina A. Pelegri A finite element method is employed to numerically evaluate the stiffness and energy absorption properties of an architecturally hybrid composite material consisting of unidirectional and random glass fiber layers. An ls-dyna finite element model of a composite...

...L. G. Zhao Finite element analyses of oxygen diffusion at the grain level have been carried out for a polycrystalline nickel-based superalloy, aiming to quantify the oxidation damage under surface oxidation conditions at high temperature. Grain microstructures were considered explicitly...

... were found to be at or near to the yield stress in the container wall. A transient finite-element thermal-stress model has been developed to simulate temperature, distortion, and stress during casting and cooling in a simple slice domain of both the glass and the container. Contact thermal-stress...

... of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites used to obtain effective properties and overall creep response of the laminated skins and (b) a finite element method to simulate the overall creep behavior of the sandwich beams with embedded PZT crystals. The simplified micromechanical model is implemented...

... examined with optical microscopy and finite element simulations. Results show that under a flat-tipped indenter, the material can quickly reach a fully plastic state. The size (diameter) of the plastic zone is constant in large-strain regions and unaffected by the exact tip profile (flat, spherical...
