Abstract: It is shown that the energy-release rates associated with the translation, rotation, self-similar expansion and distortion of the fracture process region are expressed by the newly introduced ...

Abstract: The delamination of thin coating films from substrates is a critical issue for the reliability of micro- and nanoelectronic devices. Indentation methods have the potential to measure interfacial ...

Abstract: A computational method using the path (area)-independent Ĵ-integral is developed to analyze viscoelastic problems. Since the displacement field near the crack tip of a viscoelastic solid is ...

Abstract: The fracture of rotating disks that have cracks and/or notches is predicted employing the crack instability criterion based on the J-integral R-curve approach characterizing a material resistance ...

Abstract: Plastic encapsulated semiconductor packages may crack at the corner regions of die pads or chips if internal delamination occurs at an elevated temperature during the reflow soldering process. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the effects of the axial load and the elastic matrix on the flexural wave in the carbon nanotube are studied. Based on the nonlocal continuum theory and the Timoshenko beam ...

Abstract: A new approach is presented for investigating the dispersive character of structural waves. The wavelet transform is applied to the time-frequency analysis of dispersive waves. The flexural wave ...

Abstract: A theoretical model for wave propagation across solid–fluid interfaces with fluid–structure interaction (FSI) was explored by conducting experiments. Although many studies have been conducted on solid–solid and fluid–fluid ...

Abstract: Although blood viscosity has attracted much attention for its effect on hemodynamic parameters related to atherosclerosis, quantitative method for evaluating blood viscosity in vivo is not currently established. The purpose ...
