Abstract: The contact of a simply connected axisymmetric punch with an elastic half-space is examined. The problem is mathematically formulated by using potential theory and complex variable analysis. The ...

Abstract: Commercial vehicle weight limits here refer to those on the gross weight, axle spacing, and axle weights. They have a notable influence on the deterioration and lifespan of highway facilities such as pavements and bridges. ...

Abstract: We review He ion induced radiation damage in several metallic multilayer systems, including Cu/V, Cu/Mo, Fe/W, and Al/Nb up to a peak dose of several displacements per atom (dpa). Size dependent ...

Abstract: A model for crack nucleation in layered electronic assemblies under thermal cycling is developed in this paper. The present model includes three scales: (i) at the microscale or the mechanism ...

Abstract: Heavy trucks represent a major load to highway bridges in the transportation infrastructure system. These loads are directly related to the truck weight limits of the jurisdiction, and largely determine the standard loads ...
