In this paper, the effect of the crack on dynamic behavior of cracked micro-beam in the presence of DC and AC loads are investigated. By applying the residual axial stress and fringing field stress, a nonlinear analytical model of cracked micro-beam is presented and crack is modeled by a massless rotational spring. The governing equation of the system is solved using Galerkin procedure and shoo...

Additive manufacturing (AM) of non-weldable high-γ’ Ni base superalloys is challenging due to various issues, but notably because their inherent cracking propensity. Typically, the segregation melting point-depressant elements grain boundaries (GB) drastically increases solidification interval, allowing high processing-induced stresses in parts pull apart liquid film at GBs. To achieve a better...

In this paper, the crack detection and depth ratio estimation method are presented in beamlikestructures using Elman Networks. For this purpose, by using the frequencies of modes asinput, crack depth ratio of each element was detected as output. Performance of the proposedmethod was evaluated by using three numerical scenarios of crack for fixed-simply supportedbeam consisting of a single crack...

In this study, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of beams without cracks and cracked Timoshenko beams is calculated with different boundary conditions using finite element method. The energy method is used to solve the equations. Hardness and softness matrices for Timoshenko beam without crack are obtained by solving the potential and kinetic energy equations. Then for investigation of cr...

the main objective of this study is to drive a simple solution for prediction of steel fiber reinforced concrete (sfrc) behavior under four point bending test (fpbt). in this model all the force components at the beam section (before and after cracking) are formulated by applying these assumptions: a bilinear elastic-perfectly plastic stress-strain response for concrete behavior in compression,...

Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of cattle age and dietary forage level on the utilization of corn fed whole or ground to feedlot cattle. In Exp. 1, 16 steers were used to investigate the effects of cattle age and corn processing on diet digestibility. Two cattle age categories were evaluated (weanling [254 +/- 20 kg BW] and yearling [477 +/- 29 kg BW]; eight steers per...
