A numerical simulation method is proposed to study the deformation and failure rule of granite with multi-directional tensile stress, based on the importance of the rock tension. This investigation took into consideration the fact that the current ex...
This work proposes an identification methodology to estimate the residual tension values (tones) for the human trunk muscles, including the deep ones, using multidirectional trunk stiffness data in association with numerical modeling. The role of thi...
Electrospun thermoplastic nanofiber interleaving has recently been shown to significantly enhance the Mode I and Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. This exploratory experimental study extends...
The safe and efficient operation of deep-sea towing systems is heavily governed by the highly nonlinear dynamic interaction between the flexible towing cable and complex seabed topographies. While existing studies accurately predict cable dynamics in...
This paper proposes a multi-scale analysis technique based on the micromechanics of failure (MMF) to predict and investigate the damage progression and ultimate strength at failure of laminated composites. A lamina’s representative volume element (RV...
Wind–wave misalignment is a pervasive environmental phenomenon that significantly affects the structural integrity of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). For a Spar-type FOWT across the full 0°–90° misalignment range, this st...
The suction pile–gravity hybrid foundation (SPGH) has emerged as a novel foundation for floating wind turbines (FWTs) due to its superior bearing mechanism. In harsh marine environments, offshore wind turbine structures endure multidirectional...
This paper introduces a new formability test based on double-action radial extrusion to characterize material formability in the three-dimensional to plane-stress material flow transitions that are found in bulk metal-formed parts. The presentation d...
Conventional methods for studying the plastic behavior of materials involve uniaxial tension and uniaxial compression. However, in the metal rolling process, the deformation zone undergoes a complex loading of multidirectional compression and shear....
Chloride-induced corrosion reduces the tensile capacity of the reinforcement and the effective area of the concrete cross-section of reinforced concrete (RC) piles. This study presents a two-stage framework that reproduces localized multi-rebar corro...
Among the numerous groups that have negotiated their fragmented identities through various literary practices in the last few decades, the Jewish collective has come to symbolize the epitome of diaspora and homelessness. In particular, British-Jewish...
