Abstract:

The concept of load analogy is used in the elastic and elastic-plastic analysis of isotropic circular and annular plates undergoing moderately large deflection. The effects of the nonlinear terms of lateral displacement and the plastic strains are considered as additional fictitious lateral loads, edge moments, and in-plane forces acting on the plate. The solution of an elastic or elastic-plastic Von Karman type plate is hence reduced to a set of two equivalent elastic plate problems with small displacements, namely, a plane problem in elasticity and a linear elastic plate bending problem.

Abstract:

Hybrid polymer laminates of polycarbonate and PMMA have generated considerable interest among researchers as an alternative to traditional glass armours because of their potential for reduced cost and weight. Generally, the development of ballistic armour is carried out experimentally which is an expensive task in terms of time and cost. Numerical simulation provides a much greater facility to understand the phenomenon of ballistic impact and the effects of various parameters on the response to such impact. In addition it provides an easy means of comparing the impact performance of different

Abstract:

The general problem of plastic buckling of flat metal plates is a fundamental area of investigation in mechanics not only because of its intrinsic importance in the design of engineering structures, but also because it still has not been settled in a satisfying manner.

Current manufacturing research aims at increasing productivity by optimal selection of process parameters. This is accomplished by understanding the fundamental physics of individual manufacturing processes. In this thesis, peripheral milling of very flexible cantilevered plates is studied.

A new dynamic cutting force model is developed which considers five discrete zones of relative motion between the tool and the workpiece. The kinematics of both milling and vibratory motions are modelled, which is a

Abstract:

An inelastic material model for laminated composite plates and shells is formulated and incorporated into a finite element model that accounts for both geometric nonlinearity and transverse shear stresses. The elasto-plastic material behavior is incorporated using the flow theory of plasticity. In particular, the modified version of Hill's initial yield criterion is used in which anisotropic parameters of plasticity are introduced with isotropic strain hardening. The shear deformation is accounted for using an extension of the Sanders shell theory and the geometric nonlinearity is considered i

This thesis investigates a test method to detect the presence of Variable Retention Time (VRT) bits in manufactured DRAM. The VRT bits retention time is modeled as a 2-state random telegraph process that includes miscorrelation between test and use. The VRT defect is particularly sensitive to test and use conditions. A new test method is proposed to screen the VRT bits by simulating the use conditions during manufacturing test. Evaluation of the proposed test method required a bit-level VRT model to be parameterized as a function of temperature and voltage conditions. The complete 2-state VRT

The thickness, material properties, edge lengths, and surface area of the shell are specified, and the objective is the determination of the shell shape which will maximize the buckling load.

The framework decomposes the decision into three elements: the problem statement, the designer's beliefs about the alternatives, and the designer's preferences.

Shear links are used as fuse elements in lateral load resisting systems to provide ductility and dissipate seismic energy. These links have traditionally been employed in eccentrically braced frames, but have more recently been suggested for use in the innovative linked column frame system (LCF). Current design specifications for shear links require intermediate web stiffeners to provide out-of-plane web stability so ductility requirements can be achieved. This research focused on moving from discrete transverse web stiffening to continuously stiffened webs in built up shear links. Built up li

The reliability of the main cable of a suspension bridge is crucial to the reliability of the entire bridge. Throughout the life of a suspension bridge, its main cables are subject to corrosion due to various factors, and the deterioration of strength is a slowly evolving and dynamic process. The goal of this research is to find the pattern of how the strength of steel wires inside a suspension bridge cable changes with time. Two methodologies are proposed based on the analysis of five data sets which were collected by testing pristine wires, artificially corroded wires, and wires taken from

Accurately determining the current state of a suspension bridge’s main cables is a critical component to reliably assessing the safety of the bridge. The primary cause for the deterioration of cable strength with time is universally recognized to be the corrosion of high strength steel wires, which together comprise the main cable. Hidden from view by the cable wrapping, this corrosion often goes undetected for years and is typically only discovered during costly and intrusive inspections. Furthermore, current inspection methods provide an incomplete picture of the variation in wire condition

A model for estimating the time-dependent reliability of steel beams under real fire conditions has been developed. It gives a more rational basis than time of failure modelling does for design. From risk modelling, some small resistance time from the probabilistic distribution times of failure can be deduced, which gives an acceptably small risk of failure. Time of failure modelling by itself can only give the mean time failure which could lead to excessive risk if the variability of time of failure is large. The model comprises submodels for fire severity, heat transfer, mechanical prope

Abstract:

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Highway noise can cause annoyance, affect sleep patterns, and reduce the property value for people in the proximity. Current methods for analyzing the effectiveness of sound barriers only take loudness into consideration.

Highway noise is non-stationary, therefore each of these metrics are calculated over a short time. Fin
