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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have measured and identified for the first time the stress and strain shear modulus and internal friction of graphene sheets. Graphene is a material that has many potential groundbreaking ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. The test fixtures and specimens used for the three methods are compared in Fig. 1, at left. All three apply an asymmetrical four-point bend loading to the ...

Rheology is the science of studying the flow and deformation of materials rooted in the laws of elasticity and viscosity proposed by Hooke and Newton in the late 17 th Century. Thermoplastic polymer ...

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.
