Design engineers routinely rely on bolted joints, yet most guidance focuses on axial stiffness—often overlooking moment ...

Metal alloys crack and fail through a mechanism called "fatigue" when repeatedly loaded and strained. While it is well known how to design alloys to withstand static loads and pressures, it is very ...

Due to the growing demand for efficient and sustainable buildings, wood is being considered as the forthcoming industrial resource due to greater recognitions and broader applications for the civil ...

Illinois Grainger engineers have identified a fundamental deformation mechanism that can be leveraged to greatly enhance the fatigue properties of metals, opening the door to a new strategy for ...

This dual experimental-numerical approach provides a rare, holistic view of bonded joint performance under ballistic loading, ...

Let's face it, the winter months are hard going - whether you're a lover of the season or an avid hater, dressing for the cold and putting together a presentable outfit is near impossible when you ...

Allostatic load refers to wear and tear on the body that occurs over time due to chronic stress. Biomarkers such as cortisol, blood pressure, and inflammatory markers can help measure allostatic load.

Abstract: In this paper, a 3-node triangular plate element is developed for static analysis of sandwich plates. The C 0-plate element attenuates the shear-locking phenomenon by approximating the ...

Virgil Ovid Hawkins, better known as superhero Static Shock, first graced the pages of Milestone Comics’ Static #1 in June 1993. The character was created by Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Derek Dingle ...

The term thixotropy consists of the Greek words "thixis" (touch) and "trepein" (to turn). It means change or transition due to mechanical load. In rheology thixotropic behavior is defined as ...
