Accurate Inversion of High-Resolution Snow Penetrometer Signals for Microstructural and Micromechanical Properties [PDF]
, 2009 Measurements of snow using a high-resolution micropenetrometer can be used to discriminate between different snow types; in lower-density snow the signal is sensitive to microstructure, and micromechanical properties can be estimated.

Multiscale Progressive Failure Analysis of 3D Woven Composites. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2022 Application of three-dimensional (3D) woven composites is growing as an alternative to the use of ply-based composite materials. However, the design, analysis, modeling, and optimization of these materials is more challenging due to their complex and ...

On the Thermomechanical Behavior of Laminated Composite Plates using different Micromechanical-based Models for Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE) [PDF]
Journal of Applied and Computational MechanicsIn this paper, the influence of the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) on the thermal stress analysis of laminated composite plates is explored. By introducing the undetermined integral terms in the displacement field, a new simple and efficient ...

Effects of noise on the internal resonance of a nonlinear oscillator [PDF]
, 2018 We numerically analyze the response to noise of a system formed by two coupled mechanical oscillators, one of them having Duffing and van der Pol nonlinearities, and being excited by a self-sustaining force proportional to its own velocity.

Micromechanics and dislocation theory in anisotropic elasticity [PDF]
Journal of Micromechanics and Molecular Physics, 2016 In this work, dislocation master-equations valid for anisotropic materials are derived in terms of kernel functions using the framework of micromechanics. The second derivative of the anisotropic Green tensor is calculated in the sense of generalized functions and decomposed into a sum of a [Formula: see text]-term plus a Dirac [Formula: see text ...

Investigation of CNT Defects on Mechanical Behavior of Cross linked Epoxy based Nanocomposites by Molecular Dynamics [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technology, 2016 Although carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been employed as reinforcements in nanocomposites, presence of nano scale defects such as Stone-Wales and vacancy defects in carbon nanotubes (CNT) weakens the mechanical properties of these materials.
