Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Fracture Toughness of the Concrete Mortars Exposed to Elevated TemperaturesS. Djaknoun, A. Ahmed Benyahia, E. OuedraogoThe main objective of this research was the characterisation of the fracture toughness of concrete mortars exposed to high temperatures by using notched specimens in three point bending tests. The specimens have different lengths and were heated at different temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 900°C. The experimental test results obtained are closed with those reported by the literature, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 6,524 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Analysis of Frictional Contact Problem During the Process of Metal WorkingNicolae PopThe quasistatic contact problem with dry friction, contributes to the achievement of a numerical model for the simultaneity of different kinds of viscoplastic, incompressible materials forming. Starting from a variational formulation of the problem, which extends the static case, a perturbed Lagrangean, discrete formulation within the framework of finite element method is obtained. On the contact boundary we have used … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,293 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Analysis of Plasticity- Induced Fatigue Crack Closure with Singular ElementR. Rahgozar, H. Saffari, R. TabatabaeiDeveloping a new method is presented to compute crack opening values in planar geometries using the crack surface nodal force distribution under minimum loading as determined from finite element analyses (FEM). In this technique, two-dimensional elastic-perfectly plastic finite element analyses of middle-crack tension (MT) geometry is conducted to study fatigue crack closure and to calculate the crack opening values under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,850 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessAll words, across the recordBending Stress and Deflection Analysis of Meshing Spur Gear Tooth during the Single Tooth Contact with Finite Element Method and Determination of the Bending StiffnessAntonios D. Tsolakis, Konstantinos G. Raptis, Maria D. MargaritouPurpose of this study is the study of loading and contact problems encountered at rotating machine elements and especially at tooth gears. Tooth gears are some of the most commonly used mechanical components for rotary motion and power transmission. This fact proves the necessity for improved reliability and enhanced service life, which requires precise and clear knowledge of the stress … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 7,642 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMagneto Convection in Tilted Square Cavity with Differentially Thermally Active Vertical WallsGokila Subbarayalu, Selladurai VelappanProblem statement: The purpose of this study is to study numerically the magnetoconvection in a tilted square cavity with differentially thermally active vertical walls. The two vertical side walls of tilted enclosure are differentially thermally active, each consisting of alternating equal sized hot and cold surface elements facing each other in an opposed manner while the horizontal top and bottom … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 May 2011 · 7,355 accessesView PDF Cite
