This paper investigates the dynamic response of rectangular prestressed membrane subjected to concentrated impact load based on multiple scale perturbation method. The governing equations of motion of ...

Bolted joints are among the most common structural elements in precision machinery. They are used because they are strong, serviceable and reliable. Yet, despite their prevalence, the moment stiffness ...

This paper introduces a method to develop a common model based on machine learning (ML) that predicts the mechanical behavior of a family with three composite materials. The latter are structures ...

Depth sensing indentation is a powerful experimental technique for determining mechanical properties of materials. In this work a computational routine was developed based on Oliver-Pharr method for ...

The ability to manipulate and focus particles within microscale fluidic environments is crucial to advancing biological, chemical, and medical research. Precise and high-throughput particle focusing ...

Abstract: The unit-modulus least squares (UMLS) problem has a wide spectrum of applications in signal processing, e.g., phase-only beamforming, phase retrieval, radar code design, and sensor network ...

The cube and cylinder nominal transverse splitting strengths of NC and CRC were determined and compared. On the basis of the results, the following conclusions can be drawn. • The stress distribution ...

Abstract: To support the development of the space charge ellipsometry detection method, this article focuses on the elasto-optical sensor as the core of the measurement system. Oriented to low elastic ...

A number of essential processes in biology and materials science, such as vesicle fusion and fission as well as pore formation, change the membrane topology and require formation of saddle surfaces.
