Abstract: Topologically interlocked material (TIM) systems are loadcarrying assemblies of unit elements interacting by contact and friction. TIM assemblies have emerged as a class of architectured materials with mechanical properties ...

Abstract: Multiaxial and uniaxial vibration experiments were conducted in order to study the differences in failure modes and fatigue life for the two types of excitation. An electrodynamic (ED) shaker capable of controlled vibration ...

Abstract: This study describes a physics-based and data-driven nonlinear system identification (NSI) approach for detecting early fatigue damage due to vibratory loads. The approach also allows for tracking the evolution of damage ...
