(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)First, the continuum equations of motion are referred to the initial structural configuration and then linearized with respect to the displacement increments to obtain a form of the so-called total Lagrangian formulation ...
-
(2019-03-20)The nonlinear cyclic behavior of a soil-structure system has a significant influence on the mechanical response of this system. The cyclic response of soil-structure system has been studied experimentally and analytically. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)In most materials, macrocrack extension is accompanied by inelastic phenomena (such as microcracking or plastic deformation) throughout a region surrounding the crack tip. Immediately ahead of the crack tip, strain ...
-
(2021-03-23)Commercial Mg alloys’ demand in aerospace and automotive applications have significantly increased due to its lightweight properties and higher mechanical strength than its aluminum counterparts. Processing Mg alloys into ...
-
(2022-12-10)Ever since the Bronze Age, defects in materials have been manipulated to enhance their properties. Examples include, dislocation induced strengthening via cold working, solid solution strengthening via alloying and ...
-
(2021-07-26)The overarching goal of this dissertation is to quantify the microstructural influence on deformation, degradation, and fracture of some of the most technologically sought after advanced structural materials. In the first ...
-
(2021-09-13)Technological advancements such as efficient jet engines and nuclear reactors rests on our ability to design and discover new materials. Historically, discovery of new materials has relied on Edisonian approach, but it is ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)The research begins with a definition of the thermoelastic-plastic-creep continuum and the phenomena which must be predicted in order to obtain a usable theory for modelling the response of this type of medium. Next, several ...
-
(2013-11-01)A multiscale computational framework for multiphase composites considering damage is developed in this research. In micro-scale, micromechanics based homogenization methods are used to estimate effective elastic moduli ...
-
(2016-07-05)Increasing need for weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions makes Magnesium alloys ideal candidates for structural applications, notably in transportation. However, limited formability at room ...
-
(2016-12-09)Suction Embedded Plate Anchors (SEPLA) are vertically loaded anchors which are installed by using a suction caisson to the required embedment depth. The cost effectiveness, ease of installation and the accuracy of the ...
-
(2013-12-03)This thesis presents a method to calculate the bearing and overturning capacity of a shallow foundation installed in soft clay using the upper bound method of plasticity. Mudmats are commonly used shallow foundations in ...
