Influence and evaluation of constraint on fracture toughness in pipeline research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Accessing nowadays fossil fuel reserves requires a strain-based design approach. Within such design, the ductile tearing resistance is a key parameter in assessing the defect tolerance. To determine this tearing resistance, full scale (pressurized) tests

Reproducibility of Pop-Ins in Laboratory Testing ofWelded Joints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The pop-in phenomenon, quite common in fracture mechanics tests of welded joints, corresponds to a brittle crack initiation grown from a local brittle zone (LBZ) that is arrested in reaching the higher toughness material that surrounds this LBZ.

Measuring the Performance of Livability Programs, MTI Report 12-06 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This report analyzes the performance measurement processes adopted by five large “livability” programs throughout the United States. It compares and contrasts these programs by examining existing research in performance measurement methods.

Finite-element analyses and fracture simulation in thin-sheet aluminum alloy [PDF]

open access: yes
A two-dimensional, elastic-plastic finite-element analysis was used with a critical crack-tip-opening angle (CTOA) fracture criterion to model stable crack growth in thin-sheet 2024-T3 aluminum alloy under monotonic loading after precracking at different

Economic Impacts of Bus Rapid Transit in Southeast Michigan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In recent years, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has generated great interest across the United States. There are more than 20 BRT systems in existence, and more are in the planning stage (including in Detroit). Within the next few years, BRT will be planned and

A strain-based approach to study interaction between non-coplanar through-thickness edge notches

open access: yes, 2018
Structural integrity assessment procedures to assess the effect of interaction between multiple adjacent flaws normally consist of two stages. First, alignment rules categorize non-coplanar flaws as aligned or non-aligned.

Weaving together vibrant communities through transit-oriented development [PDF]

open access: yes
Transit-oriented development (TOD) is about connecting the fabric of our communities, where various neighborhoods and places are integrated into a vibrant and cohesive region.
