Residual stresses have become an important player in the field of the structural integrity for many years. Having an exact knowledge of residual stress distributions can be essential in designing the engineering components as unexpected failures are inevitable where such stresses are ignored.  There are many residual stresses measurement techniques including destructive and non-destructive ones...

An educational computational application for analyzing plane stress problems oriented to engineering students called EsfPlano2D is presented motivate study the subject and strengthen didactic strategies in classroom. The assists step-by-step calculation of problems, which a fundamental topic teaching Mechanics Materials careers. computer program developed Fortran, linked free Computer Algebra S...

The microstructure and magnetic-structure development in magnetron-sputtered Co-22at%Cr thin films deposited on amorphous substrates has been examined systematically and in detail. It has been found that the initial deposit is amorphous up to a thickness of ~ 5 nm. By 10 nm thickness, a polycrystalline highly hcp c-axis textured (out of the film plane) microstructure is observed. At 50 nm thick...

In the present research, data extracted from the stress analysis of 46 finite element models, verified using test results obtained from an experimental investigation, were used to study the effect of geometrical parameters on the chord-side stress concentration factors (SCFs) of central and outer braces in uniplanar tubular KT-joints of offshore structures subjected to four different types of i...
