Abstract: A thermomechanical fatigue life prediction model based on the theory of damage mechanics is presented. The damage evolution, corresponding to the material degradation under cyclic thermomechanical ...

Abstract: A nonlinear finite element contact mechanics model of a helical gear pair was used to study the effect of intentional tooth profile modifications on durability of helical gear pairs. Both ...

Abstract: A finite deformation mixture theory is used to quantify the mechanical properties of the annulus fibrosus using experimental data obtained from a confined compression protocol. Certain constitutive ...

Abstract: The need to accurately predict component junction temperatures on fully operational printed circuit boards can lead to complex and time consuming simulations if component details are to be ...

Abstract: Three analytical models are presented for determining laminar, forced convection heat transfer from isothermal cuboids. The models can be used over a range of Reynolds number, including at the ...
