A State Variable Modeling of Plasticity and Necking Under Uniaxial Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Constitutive equations based on a state variable modeling of the thermo-viscoplastic behavior of metals are discussed, and incorporated in an exact, long-wavelength analysis of the neck-growth ...
Instability in Granular Materials: Experimental Evidence of Diffuse Mode of Failure for Loose Sands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The influence of three loading paths on the collapse of loose sand is analyzed with a particular attention paid to the onset of collapse and the mode of failure exhibited. Experimental results on conventional undrained ...
Review of Kinematics for Minimally Invasive Surgery and Tele-Echography Robots
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with the survey of kinematic structures adapted to specific medical robots: minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and tele-echography. The large diversity of kinematic architectures that can be found in medical ...
