RIS2018 Timoshenko Medal Acceptance Lecture: Academic Family
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Dynamics of Flexoelectric Materials: Subsonic, Intersonic, and Supersonic Ruptures and Mach Cone Formation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Motivated by recent, unexpected, experimental observations of “intersonic” rupture growth in which both shear and dilatational Mach fronts were observed at the tips of dynamic frictional ruptures propagating at rupture ...
Hyperbolicity, Mach Lines, and Super-Shear Mode III Steady-State Fracture in Magneto-Flexoelectric Materials, Part II: Crack-Tip Asymptotics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In our previous study (Part I), the anti-plane steady-state hyperbolic mode III fracture of a magneto-flexoelectric material was solved for the displacement, the polarization, and the magnetic fields. The solution, however, ...
Hyperbolicity, Mach Lines, and Super-Shear Mode III Steady-State Fracture in Magneto-Flexoelectric Materials, Part I: Methodology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work examines the sub-shear and super-shear steady-state growth of mode III fractures in flexoelectric materials, nonetheless, exhibiting Mach type shock wave patterns that resemble reported lattice dynamics results ...
Implications of Buckingham’s Pi Theorem to the Study of Similitude in Discrete Structures: Introduction of the RFN, μN, and SN Dimensionless Numbers and the Concept of Structural Speed
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Motivated by the need to evaluate the seismic response of large-capacity gravity energy storage systems (potential energy batteries) such as the proposed frictional Multiblock Tower Structures (MTS) recently discussed by ...
