    • Geometric constants in plain cross-bored cylinders 

      Kihiu, J. M; Rading, G. O; Mutuli, S. M (Dept. of Mech. Eng., University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2003)
      A three-dimensional FEM computer program was developed to establish the stress distributions and SCFs in thick walled cylinders with flush and nonprotruding plain cross bores under internal pressure. The displacement ...

    • An Intrinsic Dislocation Density – Finite Element Formulation Of Metal Plasticity 

      Njoroge, K. D; Mutuli, S. M; Kihiu, J. M (School of Mechanical, Manufacturing and Materials Engineering, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and TechnologySchool of Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2012)
      A computational model was developed to simulate elastic and plastic behavior in Body Centered Cubic (BCC) metals and alloys. The model provided for simultaneous simulation of the micro and macro length scales and used ...

    • Stress characterization of autofrettaged thick-walled cylinders 

      Kihiu, J. M; Mutuli, S. M; Rading, G. O (Department of Mechanical Engingeering, 2003)
      The inaccessibility of commercial software has necessitated the development of low-cost, general-purpose finite element method (FEM) computer programs for structural analysis. Using the FEM program, the elastic, elastic-plastic, ...
