Fracture Mechanics for Structural Adhesive Bonds Fracture mechanics methodology was developed and experimentally demonstrated for the prediction of the growth of bondline flaws in an adhesively bonded structure.
Impact Force of a Blow Formulae and Calculator: Impact force of a blow: A body that weighs W pounds and falls S feet from an initial position of rest is capable of doing WS foot-pounds of work.
Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and Dynamics Premium membership required. Mechanics can be defined as that science which describes and predicts the conditions of rest or motion of bodies under the action of forces.
Local Stress-Strain Fatigue Method ( ε-N ) Although most engineering structures and machine components are designed such that
the nominal stress remains elastic (Sn < σys) stress concentrations often cause plastic strains to develop in the vicinity of notches where the stress is elevated due to the stress concentration effect.
Stress Concentration Factors for Flat Plates and Cylinders : In a structure or machine part having a notch or any abrupt change in cross section, the maximum stress will occur at this location and will be greater than the stress calculated by elementary formulas based upon simplified assumptions as to the stress distribution.
