Abstract: Flaw-induced delamination of orthotropic laminates subject to through-thickness temperature gradients is analyzed. A crack-like flaw impedes heat flow through the laminate, producing thermal stresses ...

Abstract: The Point Contact Microscope (PCM), developed in NTT’s Kaneko Research Laboratory, is used to conduct hardness tests on polycarbonate and gold at indentation depths in the range of about 5-100 ...

Abstract: Flutter suppression via actively excited acoustic waves is a new idea proposed recently. The high flutter frequency (typically 50–500 Hz for a fan blade) and stringent space constraint make ...

Abstract: The role of the substrate in determining heat dissipation in high power electronics is calculated, subject to convective cooling in the small Biot number regime. Analytical models that exploit ...

Abstract: A method combining moiré interferometry, Twyman–Green interferometry, and blind hole drilling method is proposed for simple and accurate determination of residual stress. The relationship between ...

Abstract: The vibro-acoustic performance of a rectangular double-panel partition with enclosed air cavity and simply mounted on an infinite acoustic rigid baffle is investigated analytically. The sound ...

Abstract: Pavement cracking can be considered to be an irreversible step-by-step fracturing process induced by cyclic truck load applications. Hence, pavement crack propagation depends primarily on the accumulated axle loads (ESALs) ...

Abstract: All biological bodies live in a thermal environment with the human body as no exception, where skin is the interface with protecting function. When the temperature moves out of normal physiological ...

Abstract: In the traditional metal forming product development paradigm, product design is generally based on heuristic know-how and experience, which are basically acquired through many years of practice. ...
