Article
A three-stage mechanistic model for solidification cracking during TIG welding of steel is proposed from in situ synchrotron X-ray imaging of solidification cracking and subsequent analysis of fracture surfaces. ...
Article
Solidification cracking is a key phenomenon associated with defect formation during welding. To elucidate the failure mechanisms, solidification cracking during arc welding of steel are investigated in situ with ...
Article
Internal strains that develop between grains during creep of an austenitic stainless steel were measured using in situ neutron diffraction. The secondary creep pre-strained test specimens were considered. Meas...
Chapter
The paper readdresses a theory of super-plastic behaviour induced by cyclic temperature for certain classes of polycrystalline metals and composite materials, originally analyses by Anderson and Bishop in the ...
Article
A general thermodynamic variational approach is applied to study the force on an edge dislocation, which drives the dislocation to climb. Our attention is focused on the physical mechanism responsible for disl...
Chapter
The purpose of this chapter is to cover the basic mechanics principles that underpin the development of the material and computational models described in this book. The chapter is aimed at the nonspecialist a...
Chapter
This chapter presents the current state of die compaction modelling in the pharmaceutical industry. The topic is introduced with a review of the particular features of pharmaceutical powder formulations. The o...
Chapter
Initial work on compaction modelling assumed that the density of the powder bed in a die at the start of compaction is uniform. This has been challenged from two directions. Firstly, measurements of the densit...
Chapter
Modelling correctly the behaviour of a powder during pressing is the first issue that needs to be resolved before thinking of reliable numerical simulation. For example, in the early 1950’s it was established ...

Article
This paper outlines the use of the Principle of Virtual Motion and the Galerkin approximation to analyze surface diffusion phenomena. Various ideas are illustrated with an analysis of the evolution of a fiber ...
Article
This paper examines the process of void growth ahead of a dominant crack in a material which deforms by grain-boundary diffusion. A numerical technique recently developed by the authors is used to analyse the ...
Article
The stress and velocity fields ahead of a grain-boundary crack in a material which deforms by Coble creep are investigated for a series of grain sizes using the numerical analysis technique established by Cock...
Book
Chapter and Conference Paper
The paper discusses the micromechanical deformation and fracture processes in ice under sustained loading and their relationship with observed macromechanical processes which define the forces which moving ice...
Chapter
From the shakedown and ratchet ting limit analysis of a wide range of thermal loading problems for axisymmetric thin shells it is evident that only a limited number of possible mechanisms of incremental collap...
Book
Chapter
A constitutive law for the creep response of ice during general microcracking is developed in this paper. A simple three-bar structure is introduced for uniaxial loading and used to identify the general featur...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The theory of continuum damage mechanics is used to determine the properties of shells operating at temperatures sufficiently high for time-dependent deformations and material damage to be dominant factors aff...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Recent developments in the understanding of creep fracture in both uniaxial tension and multiaxial stress states are outlined. Simple analytical equations for void growth are given. It is shown how these mecha...
