[1] We simulate 1000 years of the earthquake cycle along the San Andreas Fault System by convolving best estimates of interseismic and coseismic slip with the Green’s function for a point dislocation in an elastic plate overlying a viscoelastic half-space. Interseismic slip rate is based on long-term geological estimates while fault locking depths are derived from horizontal GPS measurements. C...

This paper addresses the problem of path planning for a thin elastic metal plate under fairly general manipulation constraints. The underlying geometric model for the plate is provided by a B ezier representation. The geometric model is augmented by a realistic mechanical model. We assume that the plate is manipulated in accordance with a set of user-deened grasping constraints that specify the...

Elastic-plastic finite-element analysis applied to metalforming allows the real macroscopic properties of the workpiece to be incorporated. This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the initiation of cracking in side-pressing of a heat-treated aluminium alloy (Duralloy 2014). Using an F. E. analysis, these are related to various fracture criteria. It is found that the criterio...

Electro-thermo-elastic stress analysis of piezoelectric polymeric thick-walled cylinder reinforced by boronnitride nanotubes (BNNTs) subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical fields is presented in this article. The electro-thermo-elastic properties of piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PEFRC) was studied by a modified XY micromechanical model capable of exhibiting full coupling relati...

Objective: The objective is to obtain the stresses due to strip loading in orthotropic plate lying over an irregular isotropic elastic medium. Methods: Anti-plane strain problem with perfect bonding boundary conditions following by Fourier Transformation on the equilibrium equation are used to obtain the solution. The deformation field due to shear line load at any point of the medium consistin...

Free vibration of a simply-supported magneto-electro-elastic doubly-curved nano-shell is studied based on the first-order shear deformation theory in the presence of the rotary inertia effect. To model the electric and magnetic behaviors of the nano-shell, Gauss’s laws for electrostatics and magneto statics are used. By using Navier’s method, the partial differential equations of motion are red...

The problem of elastic stability of plates with square, rectangular, and circular holes as well as slotted holes was discussed. The existence of the hole reduces the deformation energy of the plate and it affects the redistribution of stress flow in comparison to a uniform plate which causes a change of the external operation of compressive forces. The distribution of compressive force is defin...

in this paper, asymmetric buckling analysis of functionally graded (fg) circular plates with temperature dependent property that subjected to the uniform radial compression and thermal loading is investigated. this plate is on an elastic medium that simulated by winkler and pasternak foundation. mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to vary nonlinearly by temperature change. the equili...

This paper focuses on the mathematical modeling of axial piston pump through dividing the failure development of friction pair into lubrication, mixed lubrication and abrasion. Directing to the wedge-shaped oil film between cylinder block and valve plate, the support force distribution under the temperature variance was obtained. Considering the rough peak of valve plate, the contact load model...
