Abstract: Reliable applications of adhesively bonded joints require understanding of the stress distribution along the bond-line and the stresses that are responsible for the joint failure. To properly ...

Abstract: Two types of low cycle fatigue tests were conducted along two principal orthotropic directions of an orthotropic Al-6061-T6 plate in strain control at room temperature: (1) reference fatigue ...

Abstract: A numerical method based on the extension of the variable material property method was developed to obtain the elasto-plastic stress field in a functionally graded (FG) rotating disk. The method ...

Abstract: Anisotropic cyclic stress-strain curves (CSSCs) were obtained from fully reversed cyclic tests in controlled strain on two orientations of specimens made from an Al-6061-T6 plate (along the rolling ...
