Abstract: The main objective of the paper is to develop the mathematical analysis of the response of a metallic stent subject to axisymmetric loads over its length and to different boundary conditions. ...

Abstract: The mechanical response of a metallic stent is considered in this series of two papers. In Part I, the development of a test method for the characterization of the mechanical response of a ...

Abstract: Whirling of strings has been studied both theoretically and experimentally for many decades. According to linear theory, a heavy string can exhibit steady-state whirl only at its natural frequencies ...

Abstract: This issue represents a compilation of papers contributed by former students, colleagues, and collaborators of Professor Wolfgang Knauss, Theodore von Karman Professor of Aeronatuics and Applied ...

Abstract: The dynamic stress field near a propagating crack tip is usually characterized in terms of one parameter, namely, the dynamic stress intensity factor. While analytically this is an exact ...

Abstract: The compact tension shear specimen is proposed as a simple experimental configuration suitable for the determination of the variation of the interfacial fracture toughness as a function of the ...

Abstract: Rubbery response of polyurea is examined under monotonic loading in the confined compression, composite compression, and Arcan shear configurations. For polyurea prepared by a casting process, it ...

Abstract: A study was carried out to evaluate the buckling of anisotropic cylindrical vessels subjected to external pressure. The cylinders were fabricated with filament-wound glass fiber in a vinyl-ester ...
