Thermal energy storage is a major contributor to bridge the gap between energy demand (consumption) and energy production (supply) by concentrating solar power. The utilization of high latent heat storage capability of phase change materials is one of the keys to an efficient wa…

Unstiffened steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are effective and economical lateral load resisting system, especially in regions of severe earthquakes. The system consists of columns intersected at the floor levels by beams and steel infill plates connected to its boundary members …
Tall buildings by their nature are computationally intensive to analyze. They consist of thousands of degrees of freedom and when subjected to strong ground motion from a nearby source, exhibit inelastic response. Modeling this inelastic response requires an iterative approach t…
Dynamic deformation, flow, and failure are integral parts of all dynamic processes in materials. Invariably, dynamic failure also involves the relative sliding of one component of the material over the other. Advances in elucidation of these failure mechanisms under high loading…
The innovation of crucible steel, a high-carbon, homogeneous, slag-free steel, is regarded as a milestone in the history of the development of ferrous metallurgy. Associated in popular literature with the making of swords, particularly in the Early Islamic period, crucible steel…
The analysis of fracture toughness test data from standard specimens is often based upon the assumptions of planar crack fronts and homogenous material properties. However, these assumptions do not hold true for all test geometries or real components. The overall objective of th…
Sacrificial metallic coatings have been used in the past, for protecting steel in industrial and urban developments. It has been suggested that thermally sprayed aluminium coatings, immersed in marine environments, are also capable of protecting steel by providing galvanic prote…
Stainless steel crowns, also referred to as preformed metal crowns, have been used widely in pediatric dentistry for restoring primary teeth, especially primary molars. They are considered superior to any other restorative materials and are the most durable restoration in pediat…
The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of martensite plasticity on the deformation and fracture behaviour of an intercritically annealed commercial low carbon (0.06 wt.%) dual phase steel. The volume fraction and the morphology (banded and almost equiaxed) of …
This study investigates the structural integrity of large diameter (108 inch) steel pipes with mortar lining embedded with Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) during installation. Field tests were carried out in the prove-out section of line J which is a 2 mile (3.21 km) sec…
