Abstract: High sensitivity Moiré interferometry has been applied to the study of dovetail joints as found in turbomachinery. Without physical measurements, the true contact conditions cannot be known. The ...

Abstract: The magnitude of the maximum shear strain at the free edge of axially loaded [θ2 /–θ2 ]s and [(± θ)2 ]s composite laminates was investigated experimentally and numerically to ascertain ...

Abstract: An experimental analysis was conducted on a bimaterial plate subjected to a uniform change of temperature. Whole-field displacement measurements U and V were made on the free surface by means ...
