Abstract: Two forms (paste and film) of isotropically conductive adhesives (CAs) were mechanically loaded in shear mode. The specimens were instrumented with crossed-line gratings so that normal and shear ...

Abstract: The propagation of elastic waves along composite wire rope is considered. The rope is modeled as co-axial layers of cylindrically anisotropic material. Simple kinematical assumptions lead to a ...

Abstract: A new method of fracture analysis is described. Strains recorded by gages in the immediate vicinity of a propagating crack are analyzed. From the analysis, crack tip position, propagation ...
