Abstract: The dynamic behavior of a simply-supported spinning Timoshenko shaft with coupled bending and torsion is analyzed. This is accomplished by transforming the set of nonlinear partial differential ...

Abstract: The variation in Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of metals during uniaxial deformation is examined. Predictions are made on the basis of a nonlinear description of the constitutive relation ...

Abstract: A Taguchi design of experiment approach was applied to thermostructural analyses of a gull-wing solder joint assembly. This approach uses a minimum number of finite element analyses to evaluate ...

Abstract: Acoustoelasticity is a nondestructive technique used for determining applied and residual stresses in structural materials. It is based on the fact that as a material undergoes deformation, the ...

Abstract: A thermal fatigue life prediction model of J-lead solder joint assembly has been developed. This model is evolved from an empirically derived formula based on modified Manson-Coffin fatigue life ...
