Suitability of a Coal‐Derived Carbon‐Based Foam for use in Thermal Protection Systems of Common Aero Vehicles

M. Grujicic, C.L. Zhao, S.B. Biggers, J.M. Kennedy, D.R. Morgan

Common Aero Vehicles (CAVs) are relatively small‐size, un‐powered, self‐maneuvering vehicles equipped with a variety of weapons and launched from space. One of the major obstacles…

Modeling of Dynamic Recrystallization and Flow Stress of Nb‐Bearing Steels

L.Q. Ma, X.Q. Yuan, S.H. Jiao, Z.Y. Liu, D. Wu, G.D. Wang

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and flow stress of Nb‐bearing steels were investigated by means of isothermal single compression testing at temperatures of 850‐105° and at…

Development of a Versatile Kinetic Monte Carlo Code to Simulate Physical Processes in Thin Film Nucleation and Growth

Xuetian Han, Richard McAfee, Judith C. Yang

Thin film development and nanoscale oxidation studies have been of great interest recent years. Nucleation rate theory[1‐3] has been successfully used to describe metal…

Analysis of Adhesion Stresses for the Design of RC Beam Bonded with Thin Composite Plate

M. Ait Ameur Meziane, S. Benyoucef, A. Tounsi, E.A. Adda Bedia

Fibre‐reinforced plastic (FRP) materials have been recognised as new innovative materials for concrete rehabilitation and retrofit. Since concrete is poor in tension, a beam…

Optimizing the Operating Conditions of a Molybdenum Target Total Reflection X‐Ray Fluorescence (TXRF) Spectrometer Using a Computer Model

O.O. Adejumo, J.O. Ojo

The results of trial experiments carried out with a computer simulation model of total reflection X‐ray fluorescence, TXRF system to determine optimum conditions for detecting…

Seismic Response of R‐C Frame Structure Controlled by Ved

Hu Weibing, Chen Xing, He Jian

Based on the character of R‐C frame, the calculation formula of VED is derived from the sub‐structure plan of lateral resistant force, the definition of equivalent stiffness…

Elastoviscoplastic Model and Concept of Slip

I. Nikitin

The model of elastoviscoplastic medium is based on the concept of slip proposed by Batdorf and Budiansky. The conditions of slip on a slip plane take into account the dependence…

The Definition of Linear Frequencies of Bending Vibrations of Magnetoelastic Cylindrical Shell by Exact Space Treatment

A G Bagdoev, A G Vardanyan, S V Vardanyan

The free bending vibrations of magnetoelastic cylindrical shell in axial magnetic field are considered. The solution is carried out by developed for elastic plates by V. Novatsky…

Optimization of Load Uniformity for Triangular Tube Using Non‐Linear Programming

J. Sun, S. Ekwaro‐Osire

The paper focuses on two topics, optimizing the proposed triangular tube for crashworthiness and solving a non‐linear programming problem by a “mapping” technique, which the…
