A homogeneous disk of mass m and outer radius R rolls without slipping on an inclined surface, with the center of the disk supported by two springs, as shown below. Say we let x represent the ...

Deformation theory and convexity are critical areas of study in solid mechanics, focusing on how materials deform under various forces and the mathematical properties that govern these behaviors.

An analytical model based on finite deformation mechanics was also developed to accurately describe the shapes of folded edges. J. Zhang, J. Xiao, X. Meng, C. Monroe, Y. Huang, and J.-M. Zuo, Free ...

We study the mechanical deformation of nanomaterials caused by this van der Waals interaction, which could have important implications on the application of nanomaterials in materials, electronics and ...

Casing deformation is a significant challenge in the hydraulic fracturing of shale gas wells, particularly in regions like the Sichuan Basin in China. This phenomenon occurs when the casing ...

In this course students are introduced to advanced conventional manufacturing processes including sheet/bulk metal forming and Machining operations and the relevant mechanics of the processes and ...
