... demonstrates the inadequacy of local theories in certain conditions and supports the use of non-local models for more accurate and reliable engineering design. Transition phenomena, such as shifts from elastic to plastic states, viscoelasticity, creep, fatigue, and quantum adiabatic processes...

...Ruifan Meng Purpose Creep behavior of concrete at high temperature has become a major concern in building structures, such as factories, bridges, tunnels, airports and nuclear buildings. Therefore, a simple and accurate prediction model for the high-temperature creep behavior of concrete...

... from the obtained load-deflection curve for each temperature range. The creep properties of the proposed function form of the viscoplastic multiplier are identified from the stress relaxation curves measured under three different temperature levels that are kept constant after the tests with different...

...William Wagner Matos Lira; Giancarlo de Gusmão Gonçalves; Catarina Nogueira Araujo; Adeildo Soares Ramos Junior; Alejandro César Frery Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of the effect of the temperature on the creep deformation during vertical well drilling in salt...

...Manish Garg; B S Salaria; V K Gupta Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate steady state creep behavior of a functionally graded rotating disc under varying thermal gradient (TG). Design/methodology/approach – The steady state creep in a rotating FGM disc with linearly varying...

...V.K. Gupta; Vijay Kumar; S. Ray Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of imposing linear and quadratic composition gradients on the steady state creep behavior of a rotating functionally graded Al‐SiC_P disc operating under a radial thermal gradient. Design...

.../approach A typical 3D segmental bridge made of precast concrete is studied through a fully coupled thermo‐hygro‐mechanical F.E. model. The durability of the bridge is evaluated and carbonation effects are considered. Creep, relaxation and shrinkage effects are included according to the theory developed...

...V.K. Gupta; N. Kwatra; S. Ray Purpose This paper aims to explore the capabilities of artificial neural network (ANN) for predicting the creep response of a rotating Al‐SiC_P composite disc operating at elevated temperature. Design/methodology/approach Mathematical modeling...
