The member shows a tensile normal component of strain in the axial x-direction and contractive normal strains in the transverse directions (due to the Poisson’s effect). The rod does NOT experience ...

Improved device extracts both first and second normal stresses from nonlinear rheometric experiments quickly with better ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...
