Failure theories are used to predict when a material will fail due to static loading. They do this by comparing the stress ...

In this video we explore bending and shear stresses in beams. A bending moment is the resultant of bending stresses, which ...

Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a ...

An international team of researchers have observed a phenomenon called virtual melting in colloidal crystals. They studied how it helps enable changes from one crystalline structure to another ...

To allow realistic stress assessments of BGA modules during drop and shock events, the dynamic mechanical behavior of SAC BGA solder joints was determined by a combination of fast shear tests and FEM ...

Discover how your stress response is actually working for you—and how imagination can help you adapt, even when the world ...

In this work, we combined three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with flow perfusion bioreactors to evaluate the gradient effects of scaffold architecture and mechanical stimulation, respectively, on tumor ...

Some of the effects that therapeutic ultrasound has in medicine and biology may be associated with steady oscillations of gas bubbles in liquid, very close to tissue surface. The bubble oscillations ...

One of the most important nonlinear rheological phenomena in flowing polymeric materials is the stress overshoot under start-up shear at sufficiently high shear rates γ̇, i.e., γ̇ > τd–1, where τd is ...
