Degradation, damage evolution, and fatigue models in the literature for various engineering
materials, mostly metals and composites, are reviewed. For empirical models established …

The rapid evolution of flexible electronic devices promises to revolutionize numerous fields
by expanding the applications of smart devices. Nevertheless, despite this vast potential, the …

A damage degree identification method based on high-order difference mathematical
morphology gradient spectrum entropy (HMGSEDI) is proposed in this paper to solve the …

A series of ultrasonic vibration tests are performed on A656 grade steel samples, at a
frequency of 20 kHz. A fatigue life model based on the unified mechanics theory is …

Fatigue life prediction of metals has been widely studied. However, most of the research is
based on empirical models under the framework of Newtonian mechanics, that relies on …

A thermographic methodology is used to determine the fatigue fracture entropy for predicting
low-and high-cycle metal fatigue. The associated analysis includes consideration of energy …

Mechanics from its side and thermodynamics from its side consider evolution of complex
systems, including the Universe. Created classical thermodynamic theory of evolution has …

This paper presented integrated electromigration (EM) studies through experiment, theory,
and simulation. First, extensive EM tests were performed using Blech and standard wafer …

This paper presents a scientific basis for the description of the causes of damage within an
irreversible thermodynamic framework and the effects of damage as observable variables …

Failure of materials subjected to torsional and axial cyclic loading is studied by applying the
principles of thermodynamics of dissipative processes. Extensive experimental tests are …
