Abstract: This paper presents a triangular nomogram for spherical symmetric coupler curves generated by a spherical crank-rocker with special dimensions. The paper also illustrates the application of this ...

Abstract: A unified constitutive model for polymer films is proposed with viscoelastic characterization at small deformation and viscoplastic characterization at large deformation based on molecular chain ...

Abstract: The thermomechanical behaviors of a new lead free solder and eutectic 63Sn37Pb are investigated in this paper. A series of tests including tensile, creep, and fatigue, are carried out on a ...

Abstract: A viscoelastic finite element model of a L2-L3 motion segment was constructed and used to study: (1) the behavior of the intervertebral disc with different amounts of nucleus fluid loss; and ...

Abstract: Although siting of thermal energy storage systems in the vadose zone may be beneficial due to the low thermal conductivity of unsaturated soils, water phase change and vapor diffusion in soils surrounding geothermal heat ...
