... model of the powder grains, by taking into account simplified chemical kinetics for decomposition reactions in the two phases. Here we consider a 0 th -order solid decomposition and an unimolecular, 2 nd -order gas reaction. Validation of the algorithm on several test cases is presented. 25 11...

... M that produce membrane forces and bending moments, respectively. This decomposition allows the proposition of a two-step active strategy. First, the critical buckling loads, in the presence of uncertain external loadings, are increased within the scope of a robust minimax procedure through...

...Seyed Ali Modarres Najafabadi; József Kövecses; Jorge Angeles This paper discusses an exact decomposition of the kinetic energy to determine the energy content that influences the dynamics of unilateral contacts in multibody systems. This decomposition essentially divides the kinetic energy...

... involved. Instead of an application of the existing methods, an attempt has been made in the present analysis to obtain the solution of an equation in a dynamic system whose damping behavior is described by a fractional derivative of order 1/2 by the relatively new Adomian decomposition method. The results...

...M. Toya; M. Oda; A. Kado; T. Saitoh Energy release rates for an edge delamination of a laminated beam subjected to through-thickness temperature gradient are analyzed on the basis of the classical beam theory. The decomposition of the energy release rate into mode I and mode II components is made...

... more (computationally) expensive as n and μ become larger. This is also true when such techniques as LU decomposition (Wehage and Haug 2 and Nikravesh and Haug 3 ), QR decomposition (Kim and Vanderploeg 4 ), zero-eigenvalue theorem (Kamman and Houston 5 and Loduha and Ravani 6 ), singular...

... is the additive decomposition of the contact-area radius, and the correction of the curvature of the particles at the contact point due to plastic flow. The accuracy of the proposed model is validated against nonlinear finite element results involving plastic flow in both loading and unloading conditions. [S0021...
