Ratcheting behavior of cylindrical pipes based on the Chaboche kinematic hardening rule

open access: yes, 2012
In this study, cyclic loading behavior of thick cylindrical pipes are described. Effects of internal pressure level and axial strain amplitude on the ratcheting rate under different types of loading histories are investigated.

A Complexity‐Based Approach to Migration Policy Change: The Case of the German Residence Act

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper adapts and applies existing indicators to measure the complexity of German migration policy over time. Building on recent scholarship that conceptualizes migration policy as multidimensional, I adapt a measurement strategy from the EUPLEX Project to capture three key components of regulatory complexity: structural, linguistic, and ...

Influence of stress level on uniaxial ratcheting effect and ratcheting strain rate in austenitic stainless steel Z2CND18.12N

open access: yes, 2018
Uniaxial ratcheting behavior of Z2CND18.12N austenitic stainless steel used nuclear power plant piping material was studied. The results indicated that ratcheting strain increased with increasing of stress amplitude under the same mean stress and ...

‘I'm Dead!’: Action, Homicide and Denied Catharsis in Early Modern Spanish Drama

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In early modern Spanish drama, the expression ‘¡Muerto soy!’ (‘I'm dead!’) is commonly used to indicate a literal death or to figuratively express a character's extreme fear or passion. Recent studies, even one collection published under the title of ‘¡Muerto soy!’, have paid scant attention to the phrase in context, a serious omission when ...

Consumers' Environmental Awareness and Firms' Managerial Delegation Contracts Under Emission Tax Policies

open access: yesScottish Journal of Political Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study considers consumers' environmental awareness of polluting firms' managerial delegation contracts and compares the effects of committed and time‐consistent emission tax policies. It reveals that when environmental performance (EP) incentives prevail, sales performance (SP) incentives depend on the emission tax type and competition ...

DIRECT ELASTIC-PLASTIC LIMIT LOAD AND SHAKEDOWN ANALYSIS OF STEEL SPACE TRUSSES WITH LARGE DISPLACEMENTS

open access: yesStructural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2014
A direct method for elastic-plastic limit load and shakedown analysis of steel space trusses with large displacements is treated in this paper. The incremental method for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of space trusses, developed by one of the ...

Plastic Shakedown Behavior and Deformation Mechanisms of Ti17 Alloy under Long Term Creep–Fatigue Loading

open access: yesMetals
Ti17 alloy is mainly used to manufacture aero-engine discs due to its excellent properties such as high strength, toughness and hardenability. It is often subjected to creep–fatigue cyclic loading in service environments.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

The microstructure and texture effects on fatigue behavior of AZ31B magnesium induced by pre-strain along radial direction

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology
In this study, compressional pre-strain was conducted on fatigue samples extracted from the AZ31B rod along the radial direction (RD), leading to the alteration of microstructure and texture, of which the impact on ratcheting behavior and fatigue life ...
