To study the influence of control mode and loading rate on mechanical property of rock, uniaxial compression tests of four types of rocks (gray sandstone, red sandstone, mudstone and granite) are ...

The intrinsic mechanical behavior of bulk materials (e.g., metals, ceramics, polymers) can be experimentally characterized by the application of force and the measurement of the resulting deformation, ...

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 ...

Thermal and mechanical stresses are creating significant challenges in heterogeneous chiplet assemblies, increasing the time and cost required to work through all the possible physical effects, ...

When structures bend, stretch, or compress, engineers need a way to translate that invisible mechanical stress into measurable data. Strain gauges do exactly that—tiny sensors that convert deformation ...
