in this paper a new element for analysis of thin-walled structures is presented, and the effects of secondary shear stresses on longitudinal displacements are examined. since the interpolation functions are based on non-uniform torsional differential equations, the analysis of stiffness matrix is facilitated. therefore, its ability to produce accurate results with the least number of elements i...

A thermodynamics-based damage mechanics rate dependent constitutive model is used to simulate experiments conducted on thin layer eutectic Pb/Sn solder joints. As compared to previous implementations of the model here we correct the difficulties introduced by the slow convergency rate of the Owen and Hinton (Owen, D.R.J., Hinton, E., 1980. Finite Element in Plasticity. Pineridge Press Limited, ...

the objective of this study was to investigate the drying kinetics of oyster mushroom, pleurotus ostreatus mushrooms were dried using a cabinet-type convective dryer. air temperatures of 50, 60 and 70 oc were used for the drying experiments. the experimental drying data were fitted to different theoretical models to predict the drying kinetics. nonlinear regression analysis was performed to rel...

In recent years, thin-walled accordion tubes under axial cyclic loading due to their appropriate energy absorption mechanism and behavioral characteristics were suggested as hysteretic metallic dampers. The effectiveness of accordion metallic damper (AMD) to protect and mitigate the response of structures under seismic loading is well established both experimentally and analytically. In this pa...
