Overshooting of Hypoplastic Models With Intergranular Strain: Manifestation, Implications and Remedy

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intergranular strain extensions of hypoplasticity (IGS, ISA, GIS) are widely used to model small‐strain and cyclic soil behaviour. However, recent studies and our own simulations reveal that these models can exhibit stress overshooting not only under repeated small loading cycles but also during monotonic loading.

Efficient Harvesting of Irregular and Low‐Frequency Mechanical Energy via Hybridized Electromagnetic‐Triboelectric Systems

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable electronics necessitates sustainable power sources to replace the limited electrochemical battery. While mechanical energy harvesting offers a promising solution, traditional harvesters face challenges of irregular and low−frequency environmental sources. This review presents the

Extension of subloading surface model for accurate prediction of elastoplastic deformation behavior of metals with cyclic softening

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
The subloading surface model has been formulated and applied to the prediction of cyclic loading behavior of metals. However, the existing formulation of this model is limited to metals exhibiting only the cyclic hardening.

True stress-controlled ratcheting behavior of 304LN stainless steel

open access: yes, 2012
Cyclic plastic deformation response of materials under asymmetric stress cycling is known as ratcheting. Combined effect of fatigue and permanent tensile strain accumulation results in early failure of materials during ratcheting.

The Feasibility of Household Food Waste Reduction in Finland: Insights From Five Consumer Profiles

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We apply a household production framework to analyse how changes in cooking skills, waste‐abatement costs and wage rates influence the food waste behaviour of five consumer profiles in Finland. We find that achieving a given reduction in food waste through skill‐enhancing interventions induces larger behavioural adjustments than equivalent ...

Crack growth based life prediction approach under LCF-HCF interaction

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2019
Prediction of cyclic life under low cycle fatigue - high cycle fatigue (LCF-HCF) interaction is of paramount importance in the context of structural integrity of components in the primary side of fast reactors where such damage under LCF-HCF interaction ...

Success and failure in foreign policy: Comparing Bob Hawke and Kevin Rudd's regional order‐building initiatives

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Remarkably little is known about what factors drive success or failure in foreign policy. In part, this is because there is little fundamental agreement on what constitutes success or failure in this domain in the first place. This article engages with these shortcomings by comparing two similar regional order‐building initiatives overseen by ...

Ratcheting and tumbling motion of Vibrots

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2016
Systems of granular rotors (Vibrots), that is, small devices that convert linear vibrational motion into rotation by frictional impact, are of scientific interest since they could reveal various types of collective behavior. Looking at an isolated Vibrot,
