Abstract This research presents a constitutive model for the macro scale simulation of masonry structures. The is containing an orthotropic plane stress assumption, which appears as appropriate assumption in-plane analysis walls. material based upon damage mechanics, split into tensile and compression parts. novelty herewith consistent mapping evolution laws. Aim this to develop simple but accu...

Thermal issues are critical when machining Ni-based superalloy components designed for high temperature applications. The low thermal conductivity and extreme strain hardening of this family of materials results in elevated temperatures around the cutting area. This elevated temperature could lead to machining-induced damage such as phase changes and residual stresses, resulting in reduced serv...

the pediatric risk of mortality (prism) score is a measure of illness severity based on abnormalities observed on bedside examination and laboratory assessment at pediatric intensive care unit (picu) admission to predict mortality probability. our study was performed on 205 patients who were admitted to picu of children’s medical center (cmc) over a period of 6 months.data were recorded prospec...

Decision-makers and stakeholders require a rapid assessment of potential damage after earthquake events in order to develop implement disaster risk reduction strategies respond systematically post-disaster situations. The investigated manually an are complicated, labor-intensive, time-consuming, error prone process. development fragility curves is time consuming unable predict the for wide clas...

Damage evolution during low cycle fatigue, creep, and their interaction behavior is actually a ductility exhaustion process in response to cyclic and static creep. In this article, a novel viscosity-based model for low cycle fatigue creep life prediction is presented in an attempt to condition viscosity-based approaches for general use in isothermal and thermo-mechanical loading. In this model,...

Based on the problems caused by today conventional vehicles, much attention has been put on the fuel cell vehicles researches. However, using a fuel cell system is not adequate alone in transportation applications, because the load power profile includes transient that is not compatible with the fuel cell dynamic. To resolve this problem, hybridization of the fuel cell and energy storage device...
