An anisotropic plasticity model is developed based on the non-associated flow rule with hardening. The combines non-quadratic yield function and quadratic plastic potential for orthogonal sheet metals. also expanded to properly reproduce cyclic effect during forming processes. simple formulations can contribute cost saving in parameter acquisition process implementation. was implemented into fi...

Age-related decline in periosteal adaptation negatively impacts the ability to utilize exercise to enhance bone mass and strength in the elderly. We recently observed that in senescent animals subject to cyclically applied loading, supplementation with Cyclosporin A (CsA) substantially enhanced the periosteal bone formation rates to levels observed in young animals. We therefore speculated that...

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of cyclic compressive loading on chondrogenic differentiation of rabbit bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in agarose cultures. Rabbit BM-MSCs were obtained from the tibias and femurs of New Zealand white rabbits. After the chondrogenic potential of BM-MSCs was verified by pellet cultures, cell-agarose constructs were made by susp...

This paper deals with local buckling analysis of rectangular functionally graded material plates using finite strip method and based on classical plate theory. The modulus of elasticity of the plate is assumed to vary according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The principle of minimum total potential energy is employed to obtain stiffness and sta...

in this research, the bending analysis of rectangular nanoplates subjected to mechanical loading is investigated. for this purpose, the strain gradient elasticity theory with one gradient parameter is presented to study the nanoplates. from the best knowledge of authors, it is the first time that the exponential shear deformation formulation based on strain gradient elasticity theory is carried...

In this study, dynamic bearing capacity of adjacent shallow strip foundations located on sandy soil was examined using a numerical finite difference modeling, FLAC. The behavioral interference of shallow strip foundations under different conditions was investigated. The effect of soil strength parameters, geometric characteristics of shallow foundations and cyclic loads at different distance ra...

We construct a large class of examples of the cyclic sieving phenomenon by exploiting the representation theory of semi-simple Lie algebras. Let M be a finite dimensional representation of a semi-simple Lie algebra and let B be the associated Kashiwara crystal. For r > 0, the triple (X, c, P ) which exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon is constructed as follows: the set X is the set of isolat...
