Abstract: To gain a better understanding of the stress state in surface mount joints and their design considerations, an analysis method of bonded joints is developed and consequently three parameters ...

Abstract: A simulation of an insertion of a solid pin into a slot between two opposing compliant beams is attempted. As a particular feature, the elastic-plastic deformation of the slot during the ...

Abstract: The formulation of continuum theories for inelastic response usually involves the definition of plastic strains or plastic strain increments. For solid materials, these are usually defined in ...
