Fracture criteria of reactor graphite under multi-axial stress state.

Effect of Thickness on Fracture Toughness of Al6061-Graphite

This research work presents the study on fracture behavior of Al6061 with graphite particulate composite produced by the stir casting technique. The materials selected for the proposed work is Al6061 and graphite particles. Compact tension (CT) specimens were utilized to determine fracture toughness for different thickness of composite. In the present work, optimizing the parameters of the comp...

A review of creep analysis and design under multi-axial stress states

The existence of multi-axial states of stress cannot be avoided in elevated temperature components. It is essential to understand the associated ailure mechanisms and to predict the lifetime in practice. Although metal creep has been studied for about 100 years, many problems are still nsolved, in particular for those involving multi-axial stresses. In this work, a state-of-the-art review of cr...

Multi-criteria Logistic Hub Location by Network Segmentation under Criteria Weights Uncertainty (RESEARCH NOTE)

Third party service providers are locating logistic hub for operating their tasks. Finding a proper location helps them to have better performance in competitive environment. Multiple characteristics of proper location selection faces the decision maker to have a multi criteria decision making problem. Since the location decision is a long term planning, the robustness of the decision is gettin...

Multi-criteria Optimal Structural Design under Uncertainty

A general framework for multi-criteria optimal design is presented which is well suited for performancebased design of structural systems operating in an uncertain dynamic environment. A decision theoretic approach is used which is based on aggregation of preference functions for the multiple, possibly con#icting, design criteria. This allows the designer to trade o! these criteria in a control...
