Equilibrium Violation From the Complex Stiffness
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 4/19/2023 )Evidence from cyclic tests on metals, elastomers, and sandy soils reveals that damping forces are nearly rate-independent and structural (hysteretic or rate-independent) damping was widely adopted since the 1940s. While ... -
Energy Dissipation on an Elastic Interface as a Metric for Evaluating Three Friction Models
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 4/12/2023 )The effect of three different friction interface models on an elastic half-space is presented. Three constitutive friction models are studied: Coulomb, soil–concrete interface, and Bouc–Wen, using a computational mechanics ... -
Hydrogen-Induced Attractive Force Between Two Partials of Edge Dislocation in Nickel
