ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

The Influence of Grain Size on the Toughness of Monolithic Ceramics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experiments have shown that there may be an optimal grain size which maximizes the toughness of polycrystalline ceramics. In this paper, we attempt to develop a theoretical model which can ...
An Analysis of Crack Trapping by Residual Stresses in Brittle Solids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The residual stress distribution in a brittle polycrystalline solid may have a significant influence on its toughness. Grains in a state of residual compression are less likely to be fractured ...
The Influence of Crack Face Friction and Trapped Fluid on Surface Initiated Rolling Contact Fatigue Cracks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A two-dimensional model of a surface initiated rolling contact fatigue crack has been developed. The model takes into account the effects of frictional locking between the faces of the crack, ...
