In this paper, an elastoplastic constitutive model is presented for predicting sandy soil behavior under monotonic and cyclic loadings. The model is based on the CJS3 model that takes into account deviatoric and isotropic mechanisms of plasticity. The flow rule in deviatoric mechanism is non-associated and a kinematic hardening law controls the evolution of the &#10yield surface. In the present...

background and objectives: macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin type b (mlsb) antibiotics are important in the treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections and existence of isolates with ability to resist against mlsb antibiotics is worrisome. materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 101 s. aureus isolates were collected from patients of five selected hospitals in tehran over ...

This paper proposes a framework for the constitutive model based on the semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity, including damage progress for simulating behavior of concrete under multiaxial loading. This model is aimed to be used in plastic and fracture analysis of both regular and reinforced concrete structures, for the framework of sample plane crack approach. This model uses multilamina...

During the flood development in an oil field, the creep characteristic of mudstone is one of the important factors causing casing damage. In this study, based on the theory of fractional order differential and taking into account the creep damage evolution rules, a fractional nonlinear creep-damage model is proposed to reflect the instantaneous deformation in loading processes and the accelerat...

In this paper, an elastic constitutive model based on the Eulerian corotational rate of the logarithmic strain tensor is proposed. Using this model, the large deformation of a closed cycle containing tension, shear, compression and inverse shear is analyzed. Since the deformation path includes a closed cycle and the material is considered as an isotropic elastic material, the normal and shear c...

Abradable coatings enable small tip clearances within gas turbine engines to be achieved. These allow blades cut their ideal paths during engine running-in and act as a sacrificial layer unforeseen blade-casing interactions, minimising any damage the blades. Abradables are often plasma sprayed result, given abradable can have wide range of properties which defined by its composition spray proce...
