Finite Element formulation for the large-amplitude vibrations of FG beams
On the basis of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the large-amplitude free vibration analysis of functionally graded beams is investigated by means of a finite element formulation. The von Karman type nonlinear strain-displac...
Application of the strip yield model to crack growth predictions for structural steel
A strip yield model implementation by the present authors is applied to predict fatigue crack growth observed in structural steel specimens under various constant and variable amplitude loading conditions. Attention is p...
Experimental investigations of a drifting cloud of droplets dispersed from aircraft
With widespread use of pesticides in modern agriculture, the impacts of spray drift have become a topic of considerable interest. The drifting of sprays is a highly complex process influenced by many factors. The paper p...
