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 ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...

Development of the fundamental principles of soil mechanics as utilized in soil and foundation engineering. Topics include: classification, index properties, strength and stress-strain behavior, ...

Contact mechanics is a crucial ... Equivalent Plastic Strain (PEEQ): A measure of the permanent deformation that a material undergoes when subjected to stress. Shakedown Analysis: A method used ...
