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 ...
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 ...
When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...
Young's modulus for Polythene, cross-linked by pile irradiation, has been measured by both static and dynamic means. Below about 115° C (the usual melting-point) the modulus decreases with temperature ...
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.
