RISBlunting of a Plane Strain Crack Tip Into a Shape With Vertices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When monotonically increasing tensile opening loads are applied to a cracked, plane strain, elastic-plastic body, the crack tip will blunt until fracture occurs. At least within the rigid-plastic ...
Editorial
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This editorial gives me an opportunity to introduce myself as the new editor of the Journal of Applied Mechanics. I succeed Lewis Wheeler who served almost ten years at the head of the ...
A Linearized Model for Lithium Ion Batteries and Maps for their Performance and Failure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A linearized model is developed for lithium ion batteries, relying on simplified characterizations of lithium transport in the electrolyte and through the interface between the electrolyte and ...
Electrostatic Forces and Stored Energy for Deformable Dielectric Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An isothermal energy balance is formulated for a system consisting of deformable dielectric bodies, electrodes, and the surrounding space. The formulation in this paper is obtained in the ...
Erratum: “Electrostatic Forces and Stored Energy for Deformable Dielectric Materials” [Journal of Applied Mechanics, 2005, 72(4), pp. 581–590]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this Erratum we point out and correct an omission of an important term in Eq. (8) of our original paper. This equation was a statement of the conservation of angular momentum and we ...
A Note on the Path-Dependence of the J-Integral Near a Stationary Crack in an Elastic-Plastic Material With Finite Deformation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this technical brief, we compute the J-integral near a crack-tip in an elastic-perfectly-plastic material. Finite deformation is accounted for, and the apparent discrepancies between the prior ...
Modeling of Threshold Strength in Cylindrical Ceramic Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, three-dimensional structured ceramic composites with large threshold strengths (i.e., stress below which there is zero probability of failure) have been fabricated utilizing an architecture ...
Mechanism Maps for Frictional Attachment Between Fibrillar Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanics of frictional attachment between surfaces with pillars, inspired by the head fixation system of dragonflies, is analyzed. The system consists of two surfaces of interdigitating ...
Structural Mechanics Based Model for the Force-Bearing Elements Within the Cytoskeleton of a Cell Adhered on a Bed of Posts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical forces play a vital role in the activities of cells and their interaction with biological and nonbiological material. Various experiments have successfully measured forces exerted by ...
An Analysis of the Cooperative Mechano-Sensitive Feedback Between Intracellular Signaling, Focal Adhesion Development, and Stress Fiber Contractility
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cells communicate with their external environment via focal adhesions and generate activation signals that in turn trigger the activity of the intracellular contractile machinery. These signals ...
