... (structures) structural engineering reviews elastic hysteresis elastic constants Conventional seismic design practice considers structural damage acceptable under strong earthquakes, provided that the structure is ductile enough to undergo large plastic deformations without collapsing...

...Richard M. Christensen, Honorary Mem. ASME A critical review is given of the various historical attempts to formulate a general, three-dimensional theory of failure for broad classes of homogeneous, isotropic elastic materials. Following that, a recently developed two-parameter yield/failure...

...J. Hematian; P. M. Wild A brief review of the literature on wrinkling in deep drawing processes is presented. It is noted that, while there is a large body of literature related to thin sheet, only one study related to thick sheet or plate has been identified. Finite element based models are used...

... of the recent fundamental studies. In what follows we take some brief excursions into these recent developments in modeling and review some key experimental results. While the principal familiarity in engineering practice in structural applications is with the D-B transitions, the fundamental aspects...

...D. G. Harlow; T. J. Delph A notable feature of replicated creep and creep-rupture data is the considerable amount of statistical scatter present. The existence of this scatter leads to substantial uncertainties in the predictions of creep deformation and failure. In this paper, we review...
