Crack propagation analysis is a critical area in structural engineering that addresses the prediction and management of crack growth in materials under diverse load conditions. This field combines ...

Digital photoelasticity is a powerful optical technique that leverages the stress-induced birefringence in transparent materials to map the distribution of internal stresses. The method has evolved ...

Theory of elasticity: elastic stability, principal of minimum potential energy, Raylegh-Ritz methods. Introduction to finite element methods of stress analysis: computer implementation and use of ...

With the semiconductor industry moving toward 3D DRAM, 3D logic architectures, and 1000+ layer 3D NAND stacks, 1 mechanical failures may become more common. Due to the complexity of these structures, ...
