The study was undertaken to gain insight into the micro-mechanisms controlling plasticity at the micrometer scale of elastic-plastic metallic alloys. Dynamic nano-indentation tests, where a small harmonic force amplitude is superimposed during loading, ref ...
Damping is an important parameter for vibration control, noise reduction, fatigue endurance or impact resistance of composite materials. In this study, a micromechanical model was used to predict the damping of a composite material containing shear thicken ...
Based on temperature-dependent thermo-physical property models developed previously, a one-dimensional model was proposed to predict the thermal responses of FRP composites in time and space domain, up to high temperatures. An implicit finite differential ...
The increasing interests in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) has raised the requirement for photoresist materials with improved friction and wear properties for mechanically loaded 3D shaped microstructures. In this work, SU8 photoresist layers rein ...
