Abstract: Engineers must routinely predict how structural systems will vibrate after design modifications are made to the mass, damping, or stiffness properties of the components. To reduce the cost of ...

Abstract: Single crystals of NiAl are very ductile at intermediate temperatures (400–700 K) and were observed to exhibit high strain hardening rates at large strains when loaded in the [110] orientation. ...

Abstract: A novel method of experimental sensitivity analysis for nonlinear system identification of mechanical systems is examined here. It has been shown previously that embedded sensitivity functions, ...

Abstract: Deformation of NiAl single crystals was studied using finite element analysis to investigate the modes of localized deformation. Constitutive parameters and hardening characteristics of the active ...
