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 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 ...

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 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 ...

steady creep at stress thresholds transitions into the dynamic rupture associated with earthquakes. By extending the principles of fracture mechanics, the researchers incorporated the finite width ...
