Abstract: The properties of force-sensing micro-cantilevers are of fundamental importance for measurements employing atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. Due to the well-known arguments of Sader, ...

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 ...

Abstract: Different profiles of a wirebond utilizing a linkage-spring model are proposed in this paper, and loop heights are minimized in order to prevent wire sweep during molding. To analyze loop ...

Sagittal craniosynostosis, a congenital cranial suture disorder, is treated with spring-assisted cranioplasty (SAC), but optimal surgical parameters remain unclear. This study explores computational ...

We introduce an extension of the hopping method, typically used in quantum systems, to mechanical networks for constructing dynamical matrices. This innovative and efficient approach facilitates the ...

FElupe is an open, Python-based finite element infrastructure for nonlinear computational solid mechanics, providing high-level and extensible workflows for research and engineering applications. A ...

At 11:03 A.M. on April 17, 2018, metal fatigue caused a fan blade to break off inside the left engine of Southwest flight 1380 en route from New York to Dallas at 32,000 feet. The rupture blew the ...

In case of 1D elements one of the dimensions is very large compare to other two dimensions. For example pipe, rod, bar, beams, axisymmetric shell etc. In all this examples the length of the element is ...

Biological tissue exhibits a strong dielectric dispersion from DC to GHz. Implementing biological dispersion in the time domain with commercial finite element method software could help improve ...

Soil-facing mechanical interactions play an important role in the behavior of earth-retaining walls. Generally, numerical analysis of earth-retaining structures requires the use of interface elements ...
