Reproducibility and reliability of the response from four SPATE systemsExperimental Mechanics - Tập 37 - Trang 440-444 - 1997
J. M. Dulieu-Barton, P. Stanley
The SPATE (stress pattern analysis by thermal emissions) system is currently the standard equipment for thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA). A carefully designed test program that studied the behavior of four independent SPATE systems over an 8-month period is described. The response of each system is compared with the response of the other systems in the study.
Axial compression buckling of conical and cylindrical shellsExperimental Mechanics - Tập 27 - Trang 255-261 - 1987
Colin G. Foster
Experiments on the axial compression buckling of high-quality epoxy cylindrical shells with imposed dimpletype defects are described. Additionally, a technique for the manufacture of high-quality epoxy conical shells which buckle at loads approaching the classical critical load is presented. For both types of shells, prebuckling deformations have been monitored optically. The sizes of defects dete...... hiện toàn bộ
Flexure testing of plasticsExperimental Mechanics - Tập 4 - Trang 185-190 - 1964
Douglas C. West
Formulas for reducing flexural-test data have been derived on the basis of nonlinear, large-deformation theory and solved by numerical methods. Based on the nonlinear solution, correction factors have been derived that may be applied to the results of standard linear data-reduction techniques to yield more accurate results than were heretofore possible.
Laser-induced stress wave thermometry applied to silicon wafer processing: Modeling and experimentationExperimental Mechanics - Tập 45 - Trang 3-8 - 2005
G. A. Rabroker, C. S. Suh, R. Chona
We present a methodology correlating the group velocity of guided plate waves to temperature in anisotropic silicon substrate. The model is developed through numerical solution and manipulation of the dispersion relations, while elastic constants and plate thickness are treated as functions of temperature. Analytical results demonstrate that adequate thermal resolution is provided by both the lowe...... hiện toàn bộ
Thermographic detection of adhesive-bond and interlaminar flaws in compositesExperimental Mechanics - Tập 21 - Trang 276-280 - 1981
D. W. Wilson, J. A. Charles
This paper reports the development of a liquid-crystal passive thermographic technique for the detection of adhesive-bond-line and interlaminar flaws in composite materials. The technique was successfully used for the detection of flaws in three composite systems: E-glass/epoxy, graphite/epoxy and HMC. Thermographic results are compared to ultrasonic C-scan results to assess the relative effective...... hiện toàn bộ
Separation of the isochromatics-isopachics patterns by use of retarders in holographic photoelasticityExperimental Mechanics - Tập 16 - Trang 146-150 - 1976
Kjell Gåsvik
By double passing the object beam in photoelastic-holographic interferometry, separation of the isochromatic-isopachic patterns can be achieved. The object beam must then interact with a suitable polarizing element between the first and second pass. This problem is analyzed using Jones' matrices. This analysis shows that, apart from active and passive rotators, half-wave and quarter-wave retarders...... hiện toàn bộ
Interlaminar-shear-strain measurements in cord-rubber compositesExperimental Mechanics - Tập 18 - Trang 457-463 - 1978
A. Y. C. Lou, J. D. Walter
The present work is an experimental study using an X-ray technique to measure directly the internal distribution of interlaminar-shear deformations which occur during uniaxial extension of two-ply, cord-rubber, angle-ply laminates—both balanced and unbalanced. Significant interlaminar-shear strains were developed between the two generally orthotropic layers of one-inch-wide specimens, which decrea...... hiện toàn bộ
