If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...

A fixed-free rod is heated uniformly by an amount of ΔT. The rod experiences axial and transverse strains due to temperature increase; however, no stress is developed since the right end of the rod is ...

Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...

The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...

Thermo-compression processing optimizes Cu/SiC composites, improving strength and toughness by improving particle ...
