Abstract: A high precision technique for measuring Poisson’s ratios of elastomers was experimentally implemented. Test fixtures consisted of hollow metal cylinders fitted with matching pairs of pressure ...

Abstract: The nonlinear response of initially imperfect composite plates with piezoelectric actuators is investigated. The nonlinearity is limited to the prebuckling regime, where higher order terms present ...

Abstract: This article presents a simple linear damage accumulation model that may have applicability for predicting damage from sustained winds in double-sided acrylic foam tape used to attach curtain wall glazing panels to buildings. ...
