    A study of biaxial viscoelastic behavior 

    Tolefson, Donald Craig (Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1964)
    An experimental study is made to investigate the feasibility of determining a viscoelastic stress-strain law for two (or three) dimensional stress conditions by means of one dimensional tests. The conclusions are based ...

    Slope deflection analysis of trussed rigid frames 

    Lin, Shun-Tsai (Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1963)
    A procedure for analyzing a two and three dimensional truss-rigid-frame with elope deflection method is investigated in this thesis. In the first few chapters of this thesis the elope deflection equations for solving the ...

    Transient analysis of layered composite plates accounting for transverse shear strains and von Karman strains 

    Mook, Daniel Joseph (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1982)
    The increasing use of laminated composites in moving structures such as aircraft has led to a need for an efficient and accurate procedure for performing transient bending analysis of laminated composite plates. Classical ...

    A simplified method for the photoelastic determination of stress concentration factors in a tensile stress field 

    Carr, Ronald B. (Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1962)
    The stress concentration factors for rectangular slots with semicircular ends with their major axes inclined to the direction of a uniaxial tension field were investigated by photoelastic methods. A major portion of this ...

    An analytic solution for the stress distribution in a semi- infinite strip loaded on the transverse edge 

    Cheng, Fa-Hwa (Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1966)
    This thesis presents an analytic solution for the stress distribution in a semi-infinite strip subjected to symmetrical loads on the transverse edge. Three different types of loading on the transverse edge are considered: ...

    The application of the Dugdale model to an orthotropic plate 

    Gonzalez, Henry (Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1968)
    The Dugdale model is applied to an orthotropic plate. Stresses along the crack line and displacements along the crack and elastic plastic interface were found. The effect of orthotropy on several isotropic properties was ...

    Plane strain fracture toughness testing of hollow aluminum bars 

    Sawyer, Samuel Owen (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1970)
    There are certain disadvantages to using round bars for plane strain fracture toughness testing. Specifically these are: (1) a large amount of material is required, for specimen fabrication, (2) a testing machine of great ...

    Determination of stress intensity factors for cracks emanating from holes in finite thickness plates 

    Gou, Shau-Fen (Virginia Tech, 1977-12-05)
    <p>The stress freezing photoelastic method is a proven technique for the estimation of stress intensity factors along crack fronts in complex three dimensional problems. Comparisons between previous photoelastic and approximate ...

    Influence of temper condition on the nonlinear stress-strain behavior of boron-aluminum 

    Kennedy, John M. (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1977)
    The influence of temper condition on the tensile and compressive stress-strain behavior for six boron-aluminum laminates was investigated. In addition to monotonic tension and compression tests, tension-tension, ...

    Buckling of an equatorial segment of a spherical shell loaded by its own weight 

    Blum, Robert Emmet (Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1966)
    Nonlinear shallow shell equations are derived for a thin shell of revolution having the shape of a narrow segment of a toroidal shell centered at the equator. The equations are derived by considering a cylindrical shell, ...
