Roughening of a propagating planar crack front [PDF]
, 2000 A numerical model of the front of a planar crack propagating between two connected elastic plates is investigated. The plates are modeled as square lattices of elastic beams. The plates are connected by similar but breakable beams with a randomly varying

Creep behavior of Ti-6Al-4V from 450°C to 600°C [PDF]
, 2014 We present in this paper the creep behavior of Ti-6Al-4V from 450°C to 600°C under applied stress from 100 MPa to 500 MPa. Creep behavior is studied analyzing creep damage after tests and calculating stress exponent (n) and activation energy (Q ...

Quasi-monolithic mirror suspensions in ground-based gravitational wave detectors [PDF]
, 2018 At the commencement of a new era in astrophysics, with added information from direct detections of gravitational-wave (GW) signals, this paper is a testament to the quasi-monolithic suspensions of the test masses of the GW detectors that have enabled the

Analysis of a unidirectional composite containing broken fibers and matrix damage [PDF]
An analytical solution is developed for the determination of the stresses and displacements in a unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite containing an arbitrary number of broken fibers as well as longitudinal yielding and splitting of the matrix.

INVESTIGATION OF CREEP RESPONSES OF SELECTED ENGINEERING MATERIALS [PDF]
, 2017 Mechanical Testing, a concept totally ignored previously, is now a major area of concern. Before now, the concept of testing was merely an afterthought of the procurement process.

Transfer function concept for ultrasonic characterization of material microstructures [PDF]
The approach given depends on treating material microstructures as elastomechanical filters that have analytically definable transfer functions. These transfer functions can be defined in terms of the frequency dependence of the ultrasonic attenuation ...
