In this article, we investigated the effect of martensite morphology on the mechanical
properties and formability of dual phase steels. At first, three heat treatment cycles were …

In this study, the effect of through-thickness shear (TTS) stress has been examined on the
prediction of forming limit diagrams (FLDs). Determination of the FLD is based on the …

A triangular cracked plane element is proposed for application in fracture mechanics'
problems. The new element is based on the strain formulation and the compliance concept …

Cracking releases the strain energy and decreases the stiffness of structures. From the force
formulation standpoint, it is equivalent to an increase in flexibility. This fact, which is called …

For many years, several crack detection attempts have been using measurements of the
structure's modal parameters. One of the easiest is to measure and correlate the change in …

Technological defects such as cracks can exist in the elements of metal structures, or cracks
can appear during operation. Calculation of crack resistance, supplementing usual …

Several cracked finite elements have been introduced and implemented by researchers to
analyze structures with cracks. In the formulation of these elements, the elastic strain energy …

Transverse cracking is a common form of distress in asphalt concrete pavements. There has
been a multitude of efforts in studying this problem using fracture mechanics principles …

Abstract Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) of opposite surface cracks presented in an un-notched
round bar has been determined under tension and combined load conditions. The influence …
