Abstract: The reliability of microfocus x-radiography and scanning laser acoustic microscopy for detecting microvoids in silicon nitride and silicon carbide was statistically evaluated. Materials and ...

Abstract: Based on the assumption that solutions from different methods should be the same, the relationship among weakly singular, strongly singular and hypersingular matrices associated with symmetric ...

Abstract: Based on the assumption that solutions from different methods should be the same, the relationship among weakly singular, strongly singular and hypersingular matrices associated with symmetric Galerkin boundary element ...

Abstract: High-cycle, load-controlled fatigue data have been obtained for solution-annealed and thermally-aged Type 304 stainless steel, for temperatures between 22 and 593°C (72-1100°F) at a cycling ...

Abstract: The extended bond graph notion was developed to overcome significant limitations in the standard bond graph notation for modeling systems described by vector and tensor-valued quantities. A brief ...

Abstract: To illustrate the use of the extended bond graph notation, a reticulation is developed for a conjugate variable approximation of the traction problem in linear elastodynamics. This reticulation ...

Abstract: An extension of the τ-decomposition method is used to predict the stability of a continuous system subjected to nonconservative loading. The technique is implemented through Ritz-finite element ...

Abstract: Nonlinear vibration and dynamic stability analyses of distributed structural systems have often been conducted for their low-dimensional spatially discretized models, and the results obtained from ...

Abstract: The need for alternative fuels to replace liquid petroleum-based fuels has been accelerated in recent years by environmental concerns, concerns of shortage of imported liquid hydrocarbon, and ...
