in this paper, the mixed-mode dynamic fracture analysis of a fgm plate is performed using mlpg method also the effect of changes in value and angle of material gradation on the dynamic stress intensity fctor(sif) of mode i, ii, and effective are investigated. to solve time dependent equations that discretized by mlpg method, the central difference method (cdm) and the newmark method are used. a...

An ordinary state-based peridynamic (PD) shell model with arbitrary horizon domains is presented. In computations of the PD parameters, removes complete assumption when treating surface effect. this study, membrane, bending, and transverse shear deformations in framework are taken into account. To examine fracture mechanics behavior, crack opening displacements strain energy densities, which co...

cracked and un-cracked brazilian disc specimens subjected to diametral compression were used for conducting fracture toughness and tensile strength experiments on a polymer concrete (pc) material. the value of mode i fracture toughness (kic) was determined from the center- cracked brazilian disc and the indirect tensile strength (σt) was obtained from the un-cracked brazilian disc specimen. the...

a finite element analysis is presented for sloshing and impulsive motion of liquid-filled conical tanks during lateral anti-symmetric excitation. the performed analyses led to the development of a number of charts which can be used to identify the natural frequency, the mode shapes of conical tanks for both fundamental and the cos(θ)-modes of vibration. conical tank geometry was described with ...

background: the reliability and safety of gas refineries are strongly associated with the reliability of other parts of the system. defect and failure in one part of a system can cause total system breakdown or accident. the failure and damage in these equipment such as transformers and boilers results in not only the equipment damage and human injuries but also productivity reduction. the purp...

* Corresponding author; Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT An important task in mixed-mode fracture analysis and prediction is the simulation of crack growth under mixed-mode conditions. To complete such a task, one must have (a) a computer code capable of handling the kinematics of general crack growth and determining the stress and deformation states during crack growth, and (b) a fracture crit...

Abstract In this paper, pultruded GFRP bars are investigated to determine their fracture properties. The double cantilever beam test (DCB) is used assess behavior under mode I loading conditions. However, due the presence of R-curve effect (variable energy dependent on length crack), it necessary introduce a nonstandard approach mixed experimental–numerical proposed deal with issue. Numerical s...

in this paper some new applications of empirical mode decomposition (emd) and hilbert spectrum in seismic ground-roll attenuation, random noise attenuation and spectral decomposition are introduced. hilbert spectrum is a time-frequency representation for hilbert-huang transform which is obtained by combination of instantaneous frequency (if) concept and intrinsic mode function of empirical mode...

Effects of different amounts of lead (Pb) and tin (Sn) on microstructure and tensile properties of the AZ91 alloy were studied. The results presented that the microstructure of AZ91 alloy is consisted the α-Mg phase and semi-continuous network of β-Mg17Al12 intermetallics. For the as-cast AZ91 alloy, the average grain siz and the β phase volume fraction were 96.2 µm and of 25.3%, respectively. ...
