A practical procedure and postprocessor FORTRAN program which sums strain energies for an aircraft structure, elastic element by elastic element for each component as outputted by MSC/NASTRAN Solution 103 or Solutions 145 and 146 is described and an example is provided showing an output table of strain energies for a hybrid finite element model of a twin turboprop aircraft and comparison with a...

We report on the growth mechanism of YBa2Cu3O7−x. Our study is based on the analysis of ultrathin, YBa2Cu3O7−x layers in c-axis oriented YBa2Cu3O7−x / PrBa2Cu3O7 superlattices. We have found that the release of epitaxial strain in very thin YBCO layers triggers a change in the dimensionality of the growth mode. Ultrathin, epitaxially strained, YBCO layers with thickness below 3 unit cells grow ...

the production of experimentally induced drug resistance in the laboratory provides valuable opportunities for investigators to study the nature and genetics of drug resistance mechanisms to a given agent, patterns of cross resistance and the mode of action of drugs. at the beginning the continuous drug exposure was chosen as a standard procedure to produce drug— resistant strains of p. falcipa...

the present paper is devoted to a new critical state based plasticity model able to predict drained and undrained behaviour of granular material. it incorporates a bounding surface plasticity model describing in multilaminate framework to capitalize on advantages of this mathematical framework. most of the models developed using stress/strain invariants are not capable of identifying the parame...

The non-asymmetric rolling process of copper and brass wire has been simulated with the Abaqus software. Presented finite element model in this simulation of rolling predicted output curvature and contact surface width in the non-asymmetric mode (in equality of diameter of rollers, the rotational speed of the rollers and the rollers’ surface finish). The material used in this research has strai...

The present paper is devoted to the determination of displacement, stresses and temperature from three dimensional anisotropic half spaces due to presence of heat source. The normal mode analysis technique has been used to the basic equations of motion and generalized heat conduction equation proposed by Green-Naghdi model-II [1]. The resulting equation are written in the form of a vector –matr...
