abstract: This paper analyses the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams subjected to progressive loads. Although this topic is addressed in recent works through tri-dimensional finite elements, present study adopts a simpler alternative, using Euler-Bernoulli’s beam element. The evolution generalized cracking by Damage Mechanics theory, and nonlinear constitutive models steel are considered, i...

A reduced micromorphic model is formulated in the scope of crystal plasticity and crystalline cleavage damage. The finite strain formulation utilizes a single additional microvariable that used to regularize localized inelastic deformation mechanisms. Damage as strain-like variable fit generalized microslip and/or microdamage based formulation. Strategies treating slip damage simultaneously sep...

Hysteresis loop curves are highly important for numerical simulations of materials deformation under cyclic loadings. The models mainly take account of only the tensile half of the stabilized cycle in hysteresis loop for identification of the constants which don’t vary with accumulation of plastic strain and strain range of the hysteresis loop. This approach may be quite erroneous particularly ...

The coupled damage/plasticity model for meso-level which is ply-level in case of Uni-Directional (UD) Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) is implemented. The mathematical formulations, particularly the plasticity part, are discussed in a comprehensive manner. The plastic potential is defined in effective stress space and the damage evolution is based on the theory of irreversible thermodynamics. T...

Background: Facing environmental factors during early postnatal life, directly or indirectly via mother-infant relationships, profoundly affects the structure and function of the mammals’ Central Nervous System (CNS). Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of morphine consumption during the lactation period on short-term synaptic plasticity of the hippocampal Cornu Ammonis 1 (C...

the aim of this paper is to prove new quantitative uncertainty principle for the generalized fourier transform connected with a dunkl type operator on the real line. more precisely we prove an lp-lq-version of morgan's theorem.

in this paper, we introduce the idea of generalized relative order (respectively generalized relative lower order) of entire functions of two complex variables. hence, we study some growth properties of entire functions of two complex variables on the basis of the definition of generalized relative order and generalized relative lower order of entire functions of two complex variables.

let r be a ring, m a right r-module and (s,≤) a strictly ordered monoid. in this paper we will show that if (s,≤) is a strictly ordered monoid satisfying the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ s, then the module [[ms,≤]] of generalized power series is a uniserial right [[rs,≤]] ]]-module if and only if m is a simple right r-module and s is a chain monoid.
