Milad Noorabadi; Rahnama Malihe; Ghasemi Mohammad Amin; Jafar Eskandari Jam

Volume 12, Issue 2 , October 2019, , Pages 1-9

Abstract
  In this paper the energy absorption capacity of stiffened circular composite tube is considered. The governing equations and dynamic equilibrium are first derived and then solved. Additionally, a finite element model of reinforced circular composite tube structure is modeled. At the following, the effects ...  Read More

Assessment of the Existing Models to Estimate the Fatigue Life under both Multiaxial in Phase and 90° Out of Phase Loading Conditions

Rahmatollah Ghajar; G. R. Rashed

Volume 4, Issue 3 , September 2007, , Pages 25-35

Abstract
  Engineers have a range of methods to estimate the fatigue life under multiaxial conditions. Each of these predictive methods is generally subjected to restrictions, related to the inherent simplified assumptions. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the validity of commonly used multiaxial fatigue ...  Read More

Damage Assessment using an Inverse Fracture Mechanics approach

F. Javidrad

Volume 4, Issue 1 , March 2007, , Pages 25-32

Abstract
  This paper studies the application of an inverse methodology for problem solving in fracture mechanics using the finite element analysis. The method was applied to both detection of subsurface cracks and the study of propagating cracks. The procedure for detection of subsurface cracks uses a first order ...  Read More
