Abstract: Time-dependent interlaminar stresses in elastic and viscoelastic laminated composites subjected to arbitrary combinations of axial extension, bending and/or twisting loads are obtained based on ...

Abstract: In the present study, a new constitutive model for eutectic solders (63Sn37Pb) is proposed. Grain sizes and phase sizes are considered as the coarsening is one of the main reasons for failure ...

Abstract: A finite element formulation for analyzing interlaminar stress fields in nonlinear anisotropic viscoelastic laminated composites is presented including a hygrothermal formulation. Schapery’s single ...

Abstract: Dynamic transient responses of plates with viscoelastic free damping layers are studied in order to evaluate free layer damping treatment performances. The effects of forcing frequencies and ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the fatigue characteristics of a new extruded aluminum 7175, with an experimental composition which uses a magnesium-calcium alloy during the alloying process instead of the standard pure magnesium. ...

Abstract: In this study, the fatigue characteristics are evaluated for a new extruded aluminum 7175 with an experimental composition that uses a magnesium-calcium alloy during the alloying process instead of the standard pure ...
