Calibration of Fatigue Design Factors and Fatigue Life Reliability of Steel Highway Bridges Using WIM Databases
DownloadSpring 2015
Fatigue life assessment of steel highway bridges is crucial to maintain their safety. Researches are required to quantify uncertainties in loading, resistance, fatigue life prediction and improvement techniques. This study calibrates some fatigue code parameters and models fatigue loading...

Crack Growth Behavior of Pipeline Steels under Variable Pressure Fluctuations in a Near-Neutral pH Environment
DownloadFall 2015
This research aims at understanding the crack propagation behavior of pipeline steels under variable pressure fluctuations in a near-neutral pH environment. Although pressure fluctuations have been recognized as the driving force for crack growth for more than two decades, the mechanisms...

Investigation of the Tearing Mechanism of Bonded Soft Elastomers with Finite Interfacial Friction
DownloadFall 2015
The role of interfacial slippage on the deformation and stress fields near an interfacial crack are investigated in detail. First, the limiting extents of interfacial bonded friction, defined as the frictionless' andno-slip' cases, were modeled as hyperelastic elastostatic boundary value problems...

Structures at relatively small scales (e.g. nano/micro scale) behave differently in comparison to those examined at the macro scale. This is mainly because a high surface area to volume ratio is present at this scale making physical factors such as surface stress/energy and electromagnetic forces...
