Rheological‐Dynamical Theory of Visco‐Elasto‐Plasticity and Fatigue: Part 1

Dragan D. Milasinovic

This paper is concerned with a new proposal regarding the analysis of visco‐elastoplasticity and fatigue and is based on rheological‐dynamical theory. Due to the analogy between…

Stability Analysis of Elastic Vibration of Connecting Rod of a Slider‐Crank Mechanism

Zhang Jinfu, Liu Wei, Qin Weiyang, He Xinsuo

A partial differential equation for elastic vibration of connecting rod of a slider‐crank mechanism is formulated by applying Theorem of Motion of Center of Mass and viscoelastic…

Non‐Relativistic Approach to Einstein’s Equations and Lorentz’s Transformation

Etienne Ligan

Using the variable mass system of particles theory [1‐3] in classical Newtonian mechanics we attempt to achieve Einstein’s equations [4‐10], and explain the Lorentz’s…

The Rattling of Euler’s Disk

Miran Saje, Dejan Zupan

The motion of a disk spinning on a horizontal surface has drawn a great deal of interest recently. The objectives of the researches are to find out what produces an increasing…

Green’s Functions for a Two‐Phase Infinite Magneto‐Electro‐Elastic Plane

Aimin Jiang, Haojiang Ding, Guoquan Wu

Based on the governing equations of magneto‐electro‐elastic media, the general solutions in the case of distinct eigenvalues and is introduced and expressed in four harmonic…

A Static Analysis of Snap Back in the Cantilever with Mems Adhesion

Wenchao Tian, Jianyuan Jia, Guiming Chen, Guangyan Chen

The “Snap back” problem of the micro‐cantilever remains one of the dominant failure mechanisms in the Micro Electro‐mechanical System (MEMS). By analyzing the Hamaker micro…

Time Evolution of Current and Deformation of Ion‐Exchange Polymer/metal Composite Actuators

Eniko T. Enikov, Geon S. Seo

This paper describes the development and the numerical analysis of an electrochemical model for the analysis of a novel polymer/metal composite actuator. A general continuum model…

On the Damage Evolution and the Mechanical Degradation of Glass‐Fibre Non‐Crimp Fabric Reinforced Epoxy Under Tensile Loading: Experimental and Finite Element Modelling

Andreas Gagel, Christian M¨ller, Karl Schulte

The stiffness and damage evolution in a quasi‐static tensile loaded non‐crimp fabric reinforced epoxy was measured. To determine the effective stiffness of the damaged material…
