Gradient enriched linear-elastic crack tip stresses to estimate the static strength of cracked engineering ceramics by Harm Askes, Luca Susmel

“…This peculiar modus operandi results in stress fields in the vicinity of sharp cracks which are no longer singular, even though the assessed material is assumed to obey a linear-elastic constitutive law. Given both the geometry of the cracked component being assessed and the value of the material length scale, the magnitude of the corresponding gradient enriched linear-elastic crack tip stress is then finite and it can be calculated by taking full advantage of those computational methods specifically devised to numerically implement gradient elasticity. …”

Theorical study on mechanical properties of AZ31B Magnesium alloy Sheets under multiaxial loading by A. Znaidi, O.Daghfas, S.Guellouz, R.Nasri

“…An essential part of simulation tools is the constitutive law used to describe the material used. The activity of characterization and modeling of material behavior of the plastic deformation shaping remains a very important research field of activity; the objective of proposing laws of behavior used in computer codes, essentially based on finite element is sufficiently to represent the real behavior of materials. …”

An analysis of the position of Islam and Islamic standards in the legal systems of Malaysia and Egypt by Mohammad Yosefzadeh, Mahdi Zare, Mohammad Mazhari

“…This descriptive-analytical research has produced a novel perspective on the constitutional laws of the studied countries, as these Islamic countries, despite sharing a common core of Islamic thought, exhibit significant differences in the extent of its application at the higher levels of political structure, fundamental norms, and constitutional adjudication.…”

A frictional contact problem with normal damped response conditions and thermal effects for a thermo-electro-viscoelastic material by Abdelmoumene Djabi

“…Purpose – The paper presents a mathematical problem involving quasistatic contact between a thermo-electro-viscoelastic body and a lubricated foundation, where the contact is described using a version of Coulomb’s law of friction that includes normal damped response conditions and heat exchange with a conductive foundation. The constitutive law for the material is thermo-electro-viscoelastic. …”

A durability- based design approach for structural applications with advanced cement-based materials by Francesco Soave, Liberato Ferrara

“…In this framework, a performance based durability design approach is proposed, which, through experimentally calibrated time-evolution trends for the material performance and design constitutive laws, defines the evolution, over the intended service life, of the structural performance indicators and the consequently needed, if any, maintenance interventions. …”
