steady creep at stress thresholds transitions into the dynamic rupture associated with earthquakes. By extending the principles of fracture mechanics, the researchers incorporated the finite width ...

Introduction to finite element methods of stress analysis: computer implementation and use of commercial codes. Structural analysis of rods, beams, columns, and plates. Students interested in gaining ...

A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease ...

This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on the x-face of a stress element at “a” in the positive y-direction. In class, we have used the Euler-Bernoulli theory of beams to ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...
