Theory of Crack Spacing in Concrete Pavements [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1997 A simple analytical model is developed to predict the average crack spacing and crack depth in highway pavements due to thermal loading. The pavement is modeled as a beam on a Winkler elastic foundation. The effect of cracks on the pavement is considered on the basis of compliance functions. A simple method is introduced to describe the behavior of the

Ring cracks at the surface of a half-space [PDF]
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2018 Abstract This paper uses a distribution of ring dislocations to determine the crack tip stress intensity factors for a ring crack at the surface of a half-space subjected to a point force at the axis of symmetry. Three cases are considered: a short crack (relative to its radius), fully open to its root; a longer crack open at the surface but closed ...

Effect of interlamellar spacing on the elastoplastic behavior of C70 pearlitic steel: Experimental results and self-consistent modeling [PDF]
, 2014 The effect of pearlite microstructure characteristics on strength and deformation of C70 pearlitic steel was investigated. Tensile tests under X-ray diffraction coupled with self-consistent model have been used to identify the role of interlamellar ...

Analysis of crack spacing in reinforced concrete by a lattice model
, 2004 A new numerical method is proposed for prediction of crack spacing in reinforced concrete. It is assumed that the deformation pattern of crack spacing consumes the least energy among all kinematically admissible deformations, and the energy minimization ...

Influence of bond slip on crack spacing in numerical modeling of reinforced concrete
, 2003 This paper investigates the influence of bond slip on crack spacing in reinforced concrete. A bond-link element is used to account for the influence of the bond slip between the concrete and the reinforcing steel.

One-dimensional nonlinear model for predication of crack spacing in concrete pavements
, 2005 This paper proposes a one-dimensional non-linear model lo predict the minimum and maximum crack spacings due to shrinkage in concrete pavements. The proposed model consists of two cohesive cracks and an elastic bar restrained by distributed elastic ...

A numerical study of crack shielding and deflection under extensive plasticity [PDF]
, 2009 Experimentally observed crack deflection events in multi-layered material systems, occurring even under pure mode-I loading, are here simulated and explained through elasto-plastic finite element modelling.

The effect of residual stresses arising from laser shock peening on fatigue crack growth [PDF]
, 2010 Residual stresses have in the past been introduced to manipulate growth rates and shapes of cracks under cyclic loads. Previously, the effectiveness of shot peening in retarding the rate of fatigue crack growth was experimentally studied.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...
