Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...

A hydrogel engineered with cell-like particles mimicking skin tissue achieves 99.9% compressibility and ultralow energy loss ...

A fixed-free rod is heated uniformly by an amount of ΔT. The rod experiences axial and transverse strains due to temperature increase; however, no stress is developed since the right end of the rod is ...

Thermal and mechanical stresses are creating significant challenges in heterogeneous chiplet assemblies, increasing the time and cost required to work through all the possible physical effects, ...

Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

Thermo-compression processing optimizes Cu/SiC composites, improving strength and toughness by improving particle distribution and reducing residual porosity.
