A Review of In Situ Mechanical Characterization of Polymer Nanocomposites: Prospect and Challenges
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)Mechanics at the nanoscale is radically different from mechanics at the macroscale. Atomistic simulations have revealed this important fact, and experiments are being performed to support it. Specifically, in situ testing ... -
Open System Tribology in the Wheel–Rail Contact—A Literature Review
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)The tiny contact zone (approximately 1 cm2) where steel wheel meets steel rail is fundamental to rail transport. This work is a comprehensive presentation of recent research in wheel–rail contact tribology. It stresses ... -
A Review of Elastic–Plastic Contact Mechanics
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)In typical metallic contacts, stresses are very high and result in yielding of the material. Therefore, the study of contacts which include simultaneous elastic and plastic deformation is of critical importance. This work ... -
Measuring and Understanding Contact Area at the Nanoscale: A Review
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)The size of the mechanical contact between nanoscale bodies that are pressed together under load has implications for adhesion, friction, and electrical and thermal transport at small scales. Yet, because the contact is ... -
Exploiting Microstructural Instabilities in Solids and Structures: From Metamaterials to Structural Transitions
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)Instabilities in solids and structures are ubiquitous across all length and time scales, and engineering design principles have commonly aimed at preventing instability. However, over the past two decades, engineering ... -

A Review of the Rotordynamic Thermally Induced Synchronous Instability (Morton) Effect
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)The Morton effect (ME) is a thermally induced instability problem that most commonly appears in rotating shafts with large overhung masses and supported by fluid-film bearings. The time-varying thermal bow, due to the ... -
Dynamic Forces Induced by a Single Pedestrian: A Literature Review
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)With the use of lighter construction materials, more slender architectural designs, and open floor plans resulting in low damping, vibration serviceability has become a dominant design criterion for structural engineers ... -
Fluid Velocity Slip and Temperature Jump at a Solid Surface
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)A comprehensive review of current analytical models, experimental techniques, and influencing factors is carried out to highlight the current challenges in this area. The study of fluid–solid boundary conditions has been ... -
Mechanics of Crystalline Nanowires: An Experimental Perspective
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)A wide variety of crystalline nanowires (NWs) with outstanding mechanical properties have recently emerged. Measuring their mechanical properties and understanding their deformation mechanisms are of important relevance ... -
Ventilation of Lifting Bodies: Review of the Physics and Discussion of Scaling Effects
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)Ventilation is relevant to the performance, safety, and controllability of marine vessels, propulsors, and control surfaces that operate at or near the free surface. The objectives of this work are to (1) review the ... -
