Creep behavior of bamboo under various desorption conditions

Problems of Structural Optimization Under Creep Conditions

Optimal structural design under creep conditions, initiated over 20 years ago, brings a fairly larg~ variety of problems, interesting both from theoretical and engineering point of view. Existence of the time factor leads to optimization for a prescribed lifetime and the number of independent variables in governing equations increases by one. Practical importance is connected with design of met...

Particle mechanics modeling of creep behavior of rockfill materials under dry and wet conditions

Keywords: Rockfill creep Particle mechanics method Water weakening Wetting–drying cycles Particle breakage Abrasion a b s t r a c t Rockfill is an important construction material for infrastructure engineering, such as dams, railways and airport foundations, which display a long-term post-construction settlement. However, the main mechanisms for rockfill creep and weathering influence still rem...

Vibration analysis of FGM cylindrical shells under various boundary conditions

In this paper, a unified analytical approach is proposed to investigate vibrational behavior of functionally graded shells. Theoretical formulation is established based on Sanders’ thin shell theory. The modal forms are assumed to have the axial dependency in the form of Fourier series whose derivatives are legitimized using Stokes transformation. Material properties are assumed to be graded in...

Stability of Plasma Polymers Under Various Conditions

In the first part of this paper, stability in the open air and ageing of plasma polymer films is concisely reviewed. Nanocomposite films metal/plasma polymer are shortly discussed. Their ageing is considered. Future work on more complex composites such as Sn or SnO2 /plasma polymer films is outlined.
