Structural shakedown: a new methodology for estimating the residual displacements
A vector of residual forces of the ideally elastic-plastic structure at shakedown is obtained by solving the static analysis problem. A unique distribution of the residual forces is determined if the analysis is based on the minimum complementary ...

Displacement Mechanisms of Residual Oil Film in 2D Microchannels [PDF]
This paper explores displacement mechanisms of the residual oil film in microchannels by analyzing the following items after wetting hysteresis occurs: resistance on the residual oil film by the rock wall, the interfacial tension between displacement fluid and residual oil film, and horizontal stress acting on residual oil film by displacement fluids ...

A new early warning method for dam displacement behavior based on non-normal distribution function
Traditional methods for early warning of dam displacements usually assume that residual displacements follow a normal distribution. This assumption deviates from the reality, thereby affecting the reliability of early warning results and leading to ...

Modelling of elastoplastic, multi-scale and multi-contact problems: application to worm gears
A nonconventional application of worm gears exploits the irreversibility of these power transmission devices in order to realize fast emergency braking. This application can be used to secure lifting devices.

Temporal development of the displacement field of the Ponzano landslide in February 2017
The conducted research determined the temporal evolution of the displacement field for the Ponzano landslide case study. The offset-tracking method, so far used mainly for the relatively rapid but uniform displacement of glaciers, was tested for the ...

Analytical Modeling for Mechanical Straightening Process of Case-Hardened Circular Shaft
Straightening has to be carried out in order to ensure the straightness of a shaft, as distortions exceed the tolerance limit. Since the straightening load is typically large enough to produce plastic and residual deformation, repeated straightening ...

On the aftershock polarity to assess residual displacement demands [PDF]
Abstract A strong mainshock is able to trigger several aftershocks during a short time interval, causing additional damage to structures. The effect of the polarity of aftershock ground motions (positive and negative) is of great significance, particularly on the residual displacement (RD) demand.
