Abstract: This work describes the energy dissipation arising from microslip for an elastic shell incorporating shear and longitudinal deformation resting on a roughrigid foundation. This phenomenon is investigated using finite element ...

Abstract: The development of reduced-order models remains an active research area, despite advances in computational resources. The present work develops a novel order-reduction approach that is designed to incorporate isolated ...

Abstract: The geometrically exact nonlinear deflection of a beamshell is considered here as an extension of the formulation derived by Libai and Simmonds (1998, The Nonlinear Theory of Elastic Shells, Cambridge University Press, ...

Abstract: The member stiffness and pressure distribution in a bolted joint is significantly influenced by the contact area of the mechanical interface under a prescribed preload force. This research explores the influence of as-built ...

Abstract: Fe–Co–2V (Hiperco®2 equivalent) is a soft ferromagnetic material that is commonly used for electrical components that require robust magnetic performance. Despite the excellent magnetic properties of Fe–Co–2V, it often ...

Abstract: In a standard design practice, it is often necessary to assemble engineered structures from individually manufactured parts. Ideally, the assembled system should perform as if the connections between the components were ...
