Abstract: The linear stability of rectangular plates with free side-edges in inviscid channel flow is studied theoretically. The Galerkin method and Fourier transform technique are employed to solve the ...

Abstract: Based on an idealized model of a homogeneous, isotropic beam-column, the second stiffest axis under static loading was derived. The maximum allowable force for the second stiffest axis was then ...

Abstract: Flow-induced vibrations and hydroelastic instabilities of rectangular parallel-plate assemblies are studied theoretically. The extended Galerkin method is employed to solve the plate equation, while ...

Abstract: A fast method called the “inverse approach” for sheet forming modeling is based on the assumptions of the proportional loading and simplified tool actions. To improve the stress estimation, the ...

Abstract: Isothermal and thermomechanical fatigue of 63Sn/37Pb solder is studied under total strain-controlled tests. A standard definition of failure is proposed to allow inter-laboratory comparison. Based ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on the normal dynamic characteristics of several machined joint surfaces, i.e., the varying principle of the normal dynamic stiffness and damping ...

Abstract: Fatigue lifetimes of low-tin high-lead and tin-lead eutectic solders under total strain controlled tension-tension tests were studied in this paper. Based on the stress and strain micro-macro ...
