Melenka, Garrett W., Leung, Cheequn K., Nobes, David S., Carey, Jason P.
The objective of this paper is to assess changes in braid radius and braid angle of braided composite tubes under tensile loading using stereomicroscope digital image correlation (DIC) based optical measurement techniques. Using this approach, displacement fields were calculated and three...

THERMOHYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE OF LIQUID METALS BASED MICROCHANNEL HEAT SINK USING NUMERICAL APPROACH
Download2022-06-01
The continuous miniaturization of microchips in semiconductor industries has been posing a challenge on microscale thermal management systems for removal of high heat flux. Traditional air-cooling methods cannot meet the demands for heat dissipation for integrated circuits. In this regard,...

Vibration Characteristics of a Ring Under General Boundary Conditions using Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko Theories
Download2022-06-01
Javad, Abedinilaksar Mohmmad, Jianming, Yang
Ring vibration analysis is more challenging than straight beams analysis. In straight beams, the structural deformations depend on rotational and translational displacements; however, in rings, in addition to these, they also depend on the coupled tangential displacement caused by the curvature...
