In this video I take a look at plane stress, an assumption used in solid mechanics to simplify the analysis of a component by ...

The researchers closely watched as a 40-nanometer-thick piece of platinum, suspended in a vacuum, self-heal nanoscale cracks.

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 ...

Heterogenous integration is pushing chip and package designers to consider multi-physics effects as early as the initial ...

This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on the x-face of a stress element at “a” in the positive y-direction. In class, we have used the Euler-Bernoulli theory of beams to ...

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 ...
