Abstract: Rubber blocks (or springs) are structural components widely used in many applications. The design characteristics of a rubber block (or spring) under vertical loading are an apparent modulus (or compression modulus) and ...

Abstract: The extended Taylor assumption of uniform deformation gradient among grains was applied in 3-D polycrystal plasticity simulations for complex loading paths at finite strain for OFHC Cu using the ...

Abstract: High resolution experimental characterization of material stretch and rotation fields in relatively fine-grained polycrystals has been limited, inhibiting direct comparison with predictions of crystal ...
