Design engineers routinely rely on bolted joints, yet most guidance focuses on axial stiffness—often overlooking moment (pitch) stiffness, which can dominate compliance in ...

ABSTRACT: The deformability of red blood cells is a mechanical property that is essential for effective blood microcirculation. Pathological metabolic conditions, particularly chronic hyperglycemia ...

ABSTRACT: Granitic crushed materials are the most widely used materials in various fields of building and public works. These materials are more available in quantity and quality in Benin. The present ...

I was trying to define a typical set of parameters for an Ndmaterial PDMY specifying a Desired Shear Modulus Reduction curve. However, just running the code with that line made my kernel crash. I ...

Shear modulus, also known as the modulus of rigidity, is a measure of the elasticity of a material when subjected to shear stress. In other words, it demonstrates how well the material resists ...

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is a technique utilized to determine the viscoelastic characteristics of materials, particularly polymers, by subjecting them to a continuous, oscillating load ...

Jack Shear, the widower of the artist Ellsworth Kelly, is donating many of his husband’s works to museums across the country and giving money to various causes. By Ted Loos This article is part of our ...

Abstract: Understanding the influence of pore fluids on acoustic characteristics of rocks containing pores of low aspect ratio, that is, cracks is crucial for both laboratory and field observations of ...

Compared with quartz sand, recycled aggregate sand is characterized by the high liquefaction and shear resistance because of its irregular particle shape. However, the interrelationship between its ...
