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

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 …

In order to analyze necking behavior with a continuum level approach, initial imperfection or
bifurcation algorithm should be employed. The initial imperfection is arbitrary and has a …

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

Conventional annealing is a slow, high temperature process that involves heating atoms
uniformly, ie, in both defective and crystalline regions. This study explores an electrical …

Abstract Structure-property-processing relationship has been studied in additively
manufactured Ti–6Al–4V alloy. The processing was performed using in-situ electron …

Reliability of solder joints under Electromigration (EM) and Thermomigration (TM) has drawn
increasing attention in recent years, however current understanding regarding degradation …

Fatigue in any material is a result of continuous irreversible degradation process.
Traditionally, fatigue life is predicted by extrapolating experimentally curve fitted empirical …

The heat transfer to water-based suspensions of microencapsulated phase change material
(MEPCM) flowing laminarly through rectangular copper minichannels was investigated both …
