ABSTRACT Engineering systems are often too complex and their behavior cannot be determined using closed form or exact methods. To circumvent this problem, numerical methods, such as boundary element ...

In this paper, we discuss the need for models that express the stretch (or strain) as a function of stress, or implicit constitutive models that the relate the stretch (or strain) and stress, for ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

In digital circuits, insulating dielectrics separate the conducting parts (wire interconnects and transistors) from one another. As components have scaled down and transistors have gotten closer and ...

Abstract: Delamination of rigid objects from an elastic substrate with finite thickness is a fundamental problem underlying applications such as marine fouling release coatings or anti-icing coatings.

The Structural Wood Design Calculator is for the iPhone or iPod Touch. It is a tool for engineers, architects, and builders, as well as students to design wood beams for strength in bending, shear, ...
