Hot spot behaviors on the disk-pad contact surface during a braking operation have been analyzed for a ventilated disk brake using the finite element method. Hot spots which were studied using a coupled thermal-mechanical analysis technique are influenced by all of the mechanical, thermal, elastic and plastic processes that are involved in braking cycles, but their temperature gradients are most affected by rubbing speeds, braking forces, and design parameters between the disk and the pad. Undesirable hot spots that are generated by local thermoelastic instabilities are intended to be removed by optimized design parameters and material properties. In this study, a three-dimensional numerical method for the demonstration of hot spot behaviors has been applied to the rubbing surfaces between the disk and the pad.

Many research of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) has been performed under the condition of steady state loading. However, mechanical elements undergo severe high loads that are in the fluctuating modes of frequency and amplitude. Conventional numerical method for the circular contact of EHL study has the difficulty in making the film thickness and pressure of EHL converged in high loads of steady state as well as fluctuating loading conditions. In this work, multigrid multilevel method are used for the stable convergence of film pressure and thickness under the conditions of high as well as varying loads, and very stable solutions of film behaviors with elastic deformation are obtained. Several results of dynamic loading condition are shown and compared with those of steady state condition in the aspects of circular EHL film thickness and pressure.

In this study, the material characterization and the dynamic behavior of 3D orthogonal woven composite materials has been studied under transverse central low-velocity impact condition by means of the micromechanical model using finite elements. To build up the micromechanical model considering tow spacing and waviness, an accurate unit structure is stacked in x-y-z direction repeatedly. First, the mechanical properties of 3D orthogonal woven composites arc obtained by means of virtual experiment using full scale Finite Element Analysis based on the DNS concepts, and the computed elastic properties arc validated by comparison to available experimental results. Second, using the implementation of this validated micromechanical model, 3D transient finite-clement analysis is performed considering contact and impact, and the impact behavior of 3D orthogonal woven composite is investigated. A comparison study with the homogenized model will be carried out in terms of global and local behaviors.

A brief overview is given of the corrosion and hydrogen diffusion behaviors of high strength pipe steel in sour environment. Firstly, hydrogen adsorption and diffusion mechanism of the pipe steel is introduced. Secondly, the effect of iron sulfide film precipitated as a result of the corrosion reaction on the steel surface on hydrogen reduction reaction and subsequent hydrogen permeation through the steel is discussed. Moreover, the hydrogen diffusion behavior of the pipe steel under tensile stress in both elastic and plastic ranges is reviewed based on a number of experimental permeation data and theoretical models describing the hydrogen diffusion and trapping phenomena in the steel. It is hoped that this paper will result in significant academic contributions in the field of corrosion and hydrogen related problems of the pipe steel used in sour environment.

Prestressed composite girder bridges with PS tendon at positive flexural moment region offer elastic behavior to higher loads, increased ultimate capacity and reduced structural steel weight. Two beams were tested to examine ultimate behaviors of prestressed composite girder bridges subjected to positive flexural moment. The experimental observations of the Prestressed composite girder bridges subjected to positive flexural moment are investigated and compared to the numerical results obtained by sectional analysis method, and 1-D. and 3-D. finite element analysis methods.

The microstructure and mechanical behavior of deformed silicon were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and nanoindentation. Structural defects such as stacking faults and dislocations were observed through the diffraction contrast in transmission electron microscopy. The mechanical properties of deformed Si and 111 Si wafer and mechanical behaviors during contact loading were also characterized using nanoindentation. The hardness values of silicon samples were ${\sim}10$ GPa and the elastic modulus were varied with indentation conditions. Elbow or pop-out behaviors were found in load-displacement curves of silicon samples during nanoindentation. Deformed silicon showed 'pop-out' behavior more frequently under the load of 10 mN, which is attributed to the structural defects in deformed silicon.

The important effect of porosity on the mechanical behaviors of a continua makes it necessary to account for such an effect while analyzing a structure. motivated by this fact, a new two-step porosity dependent homogenization scheme is presented in this article to investigate the wave propagation responses of functionally graded (FG) porous nanobeams. In the introduced homogenization method, which is a modified form of the power-law model, the effects of porosity distributions are considered. Based on Hamilton's principle, the Navier equations are developed using the Euler-Bernoulli beam model. Thereafter, the constitutive equations are obtained employing the nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen. Next, the governing equations are solved in order to reach the wave frequency. Once the validity of presented methodology is proved, a set of parametric studies are adapted to put emphasis on the role of each variant on the wave dispersion behaviors of porous FG nanobeams.

A numerical tool for predicting the behavior of reinforced concrete structures under uniaxial loads is proposed. Concrete is considered as quasi-brittle material, and for a reinforcing bar, an elastic-perfectly plastic constitutive relationship is adopted. In this study, the behavior of reinforced concrete according to the interface properties between the concrete and steel is analyzed. Comparisons between the numerical predictions and the experimental results show good agreements in the load-deflection behaviors and ultimate loads of reinforced concrete structures.

The analysis of thermoplastic automotive bumpers needs not only characterizations of the thermomechanical properties of thermoplastic materials but also the finite element method which can solve the problems with a large deflection, an elastic-inelastic deformation, and a change of a contact state. This paper describes the modeling techniques in the finite element analysis in order to get a good prediction of thermoplastic bumper behaviors. Simplification effects of a complex geometry of thermoplastic bumpers are studied by comparing the results from static loading tests and the finite element analysis.

In this study the modified Two-Surface model was validated by comparing the model prediction with the results of the experiments carefully performed. It was seen that the modified Two-Surface model was capable of more realistically simulating the behaviors of clayey specimens, specially over-consolidated specimens. This is attributed mainly to the smooth transition rule from the elastic to elastoplastic regions.
