A Correlation Between Pulse-Echo Ultrasonic Attenuation and Hardness, (1998)
Nondestructive evaluation and characterization of materials, especially in terms of parameters critical to modern design and fabrication, is a problem of growing magnitude. One example of this...
Increase of Technical Strength of Mechanically Gripped Fiberglas Rods by Surface Treatment, (1998)
Epoxy-matrix Fiberglas rods were pulled to fracture in simple tension using standard conical chuck cable grips with serrated gripping surfaces. Failure of the rods always initiated in the grip area....
Investigation of Modeling of Damage Growth in Composite Laminates. (1998)
Reifsnider, K., Stinchcomb, W. W., Bakis, C. E., Yih, H. R., Shalev, Doron
Damage initiation and growth has been studied in several material systems and two notched geometries, revealing generic characteristics of damage development and its relationship to microstructure....
Role of Interfaces and Interphases in the Evolution Mechanics of Material Systems. (1996)
Reifsnider, K., Stinchcomb, W., Dillard, D., Swain, R., Jayaraman, K.
The general objective of this investigation was to apply the discipline of mechanics to the prediction and description of the long-term behavior of composite materials by developing experimental...
