Introduction to finite element methods of stress analysis: computer implementation and use of commercial codes. Structural analysis of rods, beams, columns, and plates. Students interested in gaining ...

The National Institute of Mental Health awards a $344,589 grant to Associate Professor and Behavioral Neuroscientist Laura ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...

Our research covers damage mechanics (fracture, fatigue, corrosion, creep), materials in harsh environments and residual stress characterisation from nanoscale to macro-scale. Our testing capabilities ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

Mechanical stress refers to any type of physical stress, such as tension, torsion, bending, twisting, or exposure to stiffer environments, said co-first author of the study Maria Oorloff.

Predicting material failure is a significant challenge in materials science, as stress history often leaves no visible signs.
