WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A solid can serve as a medium for heat and sound wave interactions just like a fluid does for thermoacoustic engines and refrigerators – resulting in leak-free machines that can ...

Introduction to the formulation and implementation of inelastic constitutive relations for solids. Viscoelasticity, rate-independent plasticity, viscoplasticity. State variable descriptions and ...

Storage has come a long way in recent years, from hard disk drives to solid-state drives, and now that we're multiple ...

Towards all solid-state batteries based on the mechanical properties of their components Prof. Matsuda research group at Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering, Toyohashi ...

WHILE the specific heat, melting point and many other physical constants of a crystal are definite for any defined chemical composition, the mechanical strength may vary widely from specimen to ...

This course will provide the students with an in-depth study of plastic deformation and fracture of materials. With emphasis on structure/properties relations. The role of imperfections, state of ...

The advent of the touchscreen/capacitive sensing has many engineers wondering: Is the mechanical switch obsolete? How about the mechanical relay? There are many good ...
