Abstract: This paper introduces a novel class of three-phase magnetorheological (MR) nanocomposites reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Microstructures of the nanocomposites are characterized with the scanning electron ...

Abstract: Taking advantage of the generalized Galerkin potential function and the Fourier transform, the research presented in this paper first derives the Green’s function for a multilayered heterogeneous thin film system. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents a semianalytical method to analyze the natural frequencies and mode shapes of an undamped double-beam system, which is composed of two beams joined by a uniformly distributed connecting elastic layer, ...

Abstract: Micromechanics-based effective elastic and plastic formulations of metal matrix composites (MMCs) containing randomly located and randomly oriented particles are developed. The averaging process over ...

Abstract: A constitutive model is proposed to investigate the strengthening mechanism and the relationship between nanostructures and effective mechanical properties of the aluminum-based amorphous nanocomposites. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an active control structure and corresponding active control algorithm to suppress the vibration and reduce the dynamic response of an elastically connected double-beam system subjected to excitation ...

Abstract: This paper presents a semianalytical method to analyze the natural frequencies and mode shapes of an undamped double-beam system, which is composed of two beams joined by a uniformly distributed connecting elastic layer, ...

Abstract: A finite-element-based computational model is used to investigate the effects of bore cracking on stress distributions in solid rocket motors (SRMs) at various storage temperatures. Capabilities of a rocket-motor ...

Abstract: In the modeling of microstructural damage mechanisms of composites, damage evolution plays an important role and has significant effects on the overall nonlinear behavior of composites. In this ...
