Analysis of creep curves produced by the linear viscoelasticity theory under cyclic stepwise loadings

open access: yesVestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2017
Basic qualitative properties of the creep curves generated by the linear integral constitutive relation of viscoelasticity (with an arbitrary creep compliance) under cyclic piecewise-constant uni-axial loadings (with an arbitrary asymmetry stress ratio ...

Powers and Practices in Labor Standards Enforcement

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wage theft remains a pervasive problem internationally and within the United States. In response, worker advocates have sought stronger laws to deter violations and promote compliance. Yet formal authority alone may be insufficient; labor departments often fail to use the full extent of their legal authority to conduct vigorous enforcement ...

Effect of Pre-strain and Pre-corrosion on Ratcheting Behavior of ASTM A668 Class D Steel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ratcheting can be considered as one of the serious problems as this phenomenon causes premature failure of structural components. Ratcheting deformation can be regarded as the stress controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) response of a material which occurs ...

Ratcheting Strain Accumulation Due to Asymmetric Cyclic Loading of Zircaloy-2 at Room Temperature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Asymmetric stress cycling leads to accumulation of plastic strain which is called as ratcheting strain. The problem is generally associated with nuclear fuel cladding materials used in nuclear power plants and in pressurized pipe lines.

Influence of Dynamic Strain Aging on Ratcheting Deformation Behavior of SA333 Gr-6 Steel

open access: yes, 2022
SA333 Gr-6 steel is a candidate material for the primary cooling system in nuclear power plants. During service, piping components experience asymmetrical stress or strain cycling, resulting in plastic strain accumulation and a drastic reduction in ...

Photoreversible Polyurea Actuators With Spatiotemporal Control and Adaptive Mechanics

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 6, November 2026.
A light–thermal responsive polyurea network incorporating reversibly dimerizable anthracene units enables spatiotemporal modulation of cross‐linking density and nearly 400‐fold stiffness tuning. Integrating programmable anisotropy, photopatterning, self‐healing, and photowelding within a single framework, this bioinspired “one network–multifunction ...

Ratcheting of Stainless Steel 304 Under Multiaxial Nonproportional Loading

open access: yes, 2018
Multiaxial ratcheting is often simulated by use of nonlinear kinematic hardening models, while in reality materials show cyclic hardening/softening and additional hardening under nonproportional loading.

Linear matching method for design limits in plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper a state-of-the-art numerical method is discussed for the evaluation of the shakedown and ratchet limits for an elastic-perfectly plastic body subjected to cyclic thermal and mechanical load history. The limit load or collapse load, i.e. the

Ratcheting of Steel Samples Undergoing Asymmetric Loading Cycles at Elevated Operating Temperatures: Analytical and Numerical Assessments

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The present study intends to assess the ratcheting response of SA508 and SA333 steel alloys subjected to asymmetric loading cycles at various operating temperatures of 298, 573, and 623K through a hardening framework developed by Ahmadzadeh–Varvani (A-V)

Biological Systems as Physical Data Processors: Evolution as a Case of Embodied Computing

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 10, October 2026.
Embodied biological computing is process through which biological systems gravitate toward attractors in a solution space through a thermodynamically favored process of information capture. Applications in biotechnology, in particular metabolic engineering are numerous.
