.../approach This study proposed an extended form of the latter for establishing a new elastoplasticity model with evolving yield strengths. Findings Explicit closed-form solutions to non-symmetric tensile and compressive responses of uniaxial specimens at finite strain are for the first time obtained...

.... Design/methodology/approach The concrete matrix and steel reinforcement are the primary constituent materials of RC beams. The material properties such as tensile reinforcement area, tensile bars yield strength, concrete compressive strength and strain rate in tensile reinforcement at nominal strength...

... decreases from the inner wall containing 33.3 vol.% to outer wall containing 26.4 vol.% in the FG cylindrical shell. The elastic modulus and yield strength measured through compression tests reveal that these mechanical properties are limited up to certain value of Al₂Cu. The obtained optimum...

...K. Das; D.R. Poddar; M.K. Banerjee Purpose The purpose of the paper is to model the relationship between the yield strength of austenitic stainless steel and its chemical composition through the employment of artificial neural network (ANN). The effect of annealing temperature is also taken...
