A review of using thermoelasticity for structural integrity assessment
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 27
Abstract
The advances in the use of thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) for fracture mechanics assessment are reviewed. The development of techniques to determine stress intensity factor is presented followed by the application of these techniques to fatigue crack growth, crack closure and the study of mixed mode cracks.

A numerical approach for the analysis of deformable journal bearings
This paper presents a numerical approach for the analysis of hydrodynamic radial journal bearings. The effect of shaft and housing elastic deformation on pressure distribution within oil film is investigated. An it...
A coupled interface-body nonlocal damage model for the analysis of FRP strengthening detachment from cohesive material
In the present work, a new model of the FRP-concrete or masonry interface, which accounts for the coupling occurring between the degradation of the cohesive material and the FRP detachment, is presented; in particular, a...
Measurement and simulation of crack growth rate and direction under non-proportional loadings
A series of fatigue experiments on thin-walled tubes under tension and torsion, the experimental results – crack path and crack growth life – are measured and compared. It is observed that the cracks follow a ...
