the spline finite strip method (s.f.s.m.) for buckling analysis of plates and plate assemblies subjected to longitudinal compression and bending, transverse compression as well as shear is described. the method allows for the boundary conditions. local buckling coefficients of plates with different boundary conditions under compression, bending and shear are calculated. convergence studies with...

The transient heating in an unsymmetrical coated hot–strip sensor was simulated with a self–adaptive finite element method. The first tests of this model show that it can determine with a small error the thermal conductivity of liquids, from the transient temperature rise in the hot–strip, deposited in a substrate and coated by an alumina spray.

The results from ‘strip yield’ approach of the FASTRAN type models of plasticity induced crack closure effects of fatigue cracks subjected to variable amplitude loadings are presented. The strip yield results are compared with authors’ finite element (FE) and experimental results. It has been observed that the strip yield model is seen to be fundamentally limited by choice of α (constraint fact...

An analysis of plane wave scattering from a finite 1-D periodic penetrable screen is presented with the aim of demonstrating the effectiveness and the accuracy of high frequency asymptotic solutions when combined with approximate homogeneous transition boundary conditions. The results of the numerical investigation are relevant to the electromagnetic scattering from a large planar semi-transpar...

cage roll forming is one of the new methods of cold roll forming process which is widely used for producing erw pipes. in addition to less production cost and time, using cage roll forming provides smooth deformation on the strip. few studies can be found about cage roll forming because of its complexity, and the available knowledge is more experience-based and not science-based. in this paper,...

Closed-form expressions are obtained for the partition function of the Ising model on an MxN simple-quartic lattice embedded on a Möbius strip and a Klein bottle. The solutions all lead to the same bulk free energy, but for finite M and N the expressions are different depending on whether the strip width M is odd or even. Finite-size corrections at criticality are analyzed and compared with tho...
