residual stress measurement has gained interests among researchers for many years due to its great influence on the structural integrity. slitting method is one of the destructive techniques that relies on the introduction of an increasing cut to a part containing residual stresses. similar to all other mechanical strain relief techniques, slitting also suffers from its shortcomings during the ...

INTRODUCTION Restenosis is strongly attributed to stresses caused by stent-artery interactions generated in the artery after balloon angioplasty. Numerical methods are often used to examine the stent-artery mechanical interactions. To overcome the extensive computational requirements demanded by these simulations, simplifications are needed. OBJECTIVE We introduce simplified models to calcula...

Mechanical spectroscopy has been used for studying the relaxation of the mechanical and thermal stresses, which are built at the fibre-matrix interfaces in AICu-A1203 Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs). The interface strength has been evaluated by the stress dependent damping which exhibits a peak of solid friction. This peak is interpreted as due to interface microcracking. Relaxation of thermal s...

Rotor cage faults as broken rotor bars, increased bars resistance and end-ring faults can be caused by thermal stresses, due to overload, overheating and thus mechanical stresses, magnetic stresses and dynamic stresses due to shaft torques. Environmental stresses as contamination or abrasion also contributes to the rotor cage faults. The rotor cage faults can also lead to the shaft vibration an...

The purpose of this paper is to study the behavior of elastic-plastic stresses under severe drag braking. A railway wheel performs three tasks, aiding in trian movement, supporting the car load, and acting as a brake drum. Finite element computer programs are developed for elasto-plastic stress analysis. An attempt is made here to find an improved fillet profile of the wheel with the intention ...

Tissue patterning relies on cellular reorganization through the interplay between signaling pathways and mechanical stresses. Their integration and spatiotemporal coordination remain poorly understood. Here we investigate the mechanisms driving the dynamics of cell delamination, diversely deployed to extrude dead cells or specify distinct cell fates. We show that a local mechanical stimulus (su...

The mechanical behavior of cold rolled sheets is significantly related to residual stresses that arise from bending and unbending processes. Measurement of residual stresses is mostly limited to surface measurement techniques. Experimental determination of stress variation through thickness is difficult and time-consuming. This paper presents a closed form solution for residual stresses, in whi...

Mechanical stresses that are preferentially transmitted across the cell surface via transmembrane integrin receptors activate gene transcription by triggering production of intracellular chemical second messengers, such as cAMP. Here we show that the sensitivity of the cAMP signaling pathway to mechanical stresses transferred across beta1 integrins is mediated by force-dependent activation of t...
