Abstract: This paper develops a fracture mechanics based continuum damage theory for initially anisotropic solids by extending the author’s previous damage theory for isotropic solids. The concepts of ...

Abstract: In the moving mass problem, the interaction force between a moving mass and structure obviously depends on the velocity of moving mass and the flexibility of structure. Thus, in some situations, ...

Abstract: In this Tech Brief, the local curvature induced peeling tensile stress within the piezoactuator patch is qualitatively estimated, and the detailed stress analysis for an ACLD beam is conducted ...

Abstract: Optical diffusometry is a technique used for measuring diffusion. This work explores the possibility of directly measuring diffusion coefficients of submicron particles for pathogen detection. The ...
