The aim of the present study is to characterize the fracture behaviour of the giant magnetostrictive alloy commercially named Terfenol-D, both experimentally and numerically. Three-point bending tests have been carried out ...

Concrete, as one of the most widely used construction materials, has a brittle behavior. Adding fibers with different types and contents would affect the ductility behavior and mechanical properties of concrete. Hence, an ...

In the present paper, we have constructed the equations for generalized thermoelasticity of a fiber-reinforced anisotropic hollow cylinder. The formulation is applied in the context of dualphaselag model (DPL). An application ...

The main goal of this research is to propose a failure criterion based on the linear elastic notch fracture mechanics (LENFM) for predicting tensile crack initiation from a blunt V-notch, encountering large plasticity at ...

Recently, Huffman developed a strain energy density based on Walker-like stress life and fatigue crack growth behavior. In this paper, the Huffman model based on local strain energy density is used to predict the fatigue ...

One of the most important challenges of storing fluids in thin walled pressure vessels under internal pressure is preventing crack propagation. In low temperature, steel shows brittle crack propagation characteristic which ...
