Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the asymmetric bifurcation behavior of an initially curved nanobeam accounting for Lorentz and electrostatic forces. The beam model was developed in the framework of Euler–Bernoulli beam ...

Abstract: Shock loads which are characterized by high intensity, short duration, and vibration at varied frequencies can lead to the failure of embedded electronics typically used to operate/control numerous devices. Failure of ...

Abstract: Surface enhancement techniques such as shot peening are extensively used to increase the fatigue life of components in gas turbine engines. Due to the combined thermomechanical nature of the loading encountered within an ...

Abstract: It is the objective of this study to conduct realistic simulations of the archeight development in shotpeened Almen strips using the finite element (FE) method. Unlike our earlier work which is devoted to relaxation of ...

Abstract: In this paper, we examine the energy absorption and containment capabilities of a newly proposed dual-ring design accounting for interactions between a released blade and fully bladed fan disk using three-dimensional finite ...

Abstract: In this article, we investigate the stress transfer characteristics of a novel hybrid hierarchical nanocomposite in which the regularly staggered short fuzzy fibers are interlaced in the polymer matrix. The advanced fiber ...
