In this note, we provide correct proofs for showing the convexity of two signomial functions which are frequently used in some recent papers [4, 6, 7, 8, 9] by Tsai et al.. Their arguments contain repeated flaws that motivate our work of this note.

The paper presents experimental characterization and theoretical predictions of elastic failure properties continuous carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide (C/C-SiC) composite fabricated by Liquid Silicon Infiltration (LSI). Its mechanical were determined under uniaxial tensile, compression, pure shear loads in two sets principal coordinate systems, 0°–90° ±45°, respectively. measured the sys...

Micromechanics models for the stiffness of aligned short-fiber composites are reviewed and evaluated. These include the dilute model based on Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion, the self-consistent model for finite-length fibers, Mori-Tanaka type models, bounding models, the Halpin-Tsai equation and its extensions, and shear lag models. Several models are found to be equivalent to the Mori-Tanaka a...

In this paper, time-domain dynamic analysis of dam - infinite reservoir is studied. A numerical method, discrete singular convolution (DSC), which seems to be efficient and simple, has been used to model the mixed boundary conditions. After a brief introduction, DSC is applied to model the equation of motion of fluid-structure with constant cross section subjected to El-Centro (1940) earthquake...
