Abstract: The strength and durability of adhesively bonded sandwich structures often depend on the mechanisms of fracture, which in turn depend on the properties of the adhesive and the microstructures ...

Abstract: Material degradation and failure in rolling contact components are often associated with surface crack initiation and propagation under repeated contact loading. In the presence of lubricating ...

Abstract: The competing effects of failure by net section stress rupture and failure due to crack growth in creeping structural alloys have been investigated to determine the dominant failure process ...

Abstract: An analytical method is developed to estimate notch root strains in a notched bar of elastic-plastic, isotropic material subjected to proportional and nonproportional multiaxial nominal loading. ...

Abstract: The machinability of carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polymer composites is studied as a function of CNT loading, in light of the trends seen in their material properties. To this end, the ...

Abstract: The machinability of a polycarbonate nanocomposite containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes is investigated and contrasted with its base polymer and with a conventional carbon fiber composite. The ...
