Abstract: The vertical penetration of sedimentary materials is of importance for many scientific and engineering purposes, including soil sampling and pile driving. One approach to this problem is to ...

Abstract: A discipline of nonlinear dynamics (Chaos Theory), not traditionally used in the study of solder, is applied here in developing a conjectured general form for fatigue based on creep. Solder ...

Abstract: Single crystal nickel-base superalloys deform by shearing along 〈111〉 planes, sometimes referred to as “octahedral” slip planes. Under fatigue loading, cyclic stress produces alternating slip ...

Abstract: Due to the tendency of ovarian cancer to spread in small sections throughout the abdominal cavity, it is presently difficult to detect early stage cancer recurrence following the primary ...

Abstract: The implementation of reliability methods for designing new structures and assessing the safety and evaluating the performance of existing structures and infrastructure systems has gained widespread acceptance. Consequently, ...
