Abstract: A study is carried out of the problem of a penny-shaped crack in an infinite body of power-law material subject to general remote axisymmetric stressing conditions. The plane strain version ...

Abstract: Accurate results for the stress intensity factors for the asymmetric four-point bend specimen with an edge crack are presented. A basic solution for an infinitely long specimen loaded by a ...

Abstract: The present paper describes an investigation that implements and assesses a dynamic continuum constitutive law for all-metallic sandwich panels. It also demonstrates its application to multilayer ...

Abstract: A stretch/bend method for the in situ measurement of the delamination toughness of coatings attached to substrates is described. A beam theory analysis is presented that illustrates the main ...

Abstract: A thermal analysis has been performed for a package design pertinent to power electronics. The objective has been the derivation of straightforward expressions that relate the materials used and ...

Abstract: A systematic investigation of the effects of specimen size on the cleavage fracture toughness of a typical pressure vessel steel is reported. Size dependence arises both from: (i) statistical ...

Abstract: Metallic sandwich panels with tetrahedral truss cores have been fabricated and their structural performance evaluated. A fabrication technique involving deformation-shaping and brazing has been used. ...
