In selecting such alloys for use in light-strong structures the composition must be chosen to balance these properties to the needs of the design. Although the demands of a front fork on a bicycle ...

Research in mechanics of solids mainly includes fundamental theory (elasticity, plasticity, variational principles, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures,and inelastic constitutive ...

Optical materials and structures are substances used to manipulate the flow of light. This can include reflecting, absorbing, focusing or splitting an optical beam. The efficiency of a specific ...

The Fluids, Structures and Materials (FSM) Focus Area is divided into two tracks: (1) Fluids, and (2) Structures and Materials. For the FSM Focus Area only, the general MS requirement to take a core ...

The central aim of Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures is to promote the dissemination of significant developments and publish state-of-the-art reviews and technical discussions of ...

An aircraft or hydrofoil wing behaves as a cantilever beam from a structural viewpoint. Structures of this sort have a "flexural center" associated with them. If they are loaded at the flexural center ...
