Researchers developed a machine-learning technique that uses an image to estimate the stresses and strains acting on a material. The advance could accelerate engineers' design process by eliminating ...

New research shows that the electronic structure of metals can strongly affect their mechanical properties. New research from the University of Birmingham shows that the electronic structure of metals ...

Multiferroic (MF) materials are materials that have both magnetic and ferroelectric properties. They are particularly interesting to materials scientists as they allow the manipulation of magnetic ...

Understanding the tensile properties of adhesives is crucial to determine their suitability for various applications and overall performance.

With the semiconductor industry moving toward 3D DRAM, 3D logic architectures, and 1000+ layer 3D NAND stacks, 1 mechanical failures may become more common. Due to the complexity of these structures, ...

Mechanical testing is a way of testing and measuring the properties of materials. Machines/instruments are available to test materials or finished products in a range of different ways including ...

What makes 2D materials so interesting for researchers is their outstanding physical and chemical properties in contrast to their bulk counterparts. Inspired by the unique optical and electronic ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...

Snap-fit joints are the most widely used way of joining and assembling plastics. They are classified according to their spring element and by separability of the joint: Will it be detachable, ...

Isaac Newton may have met his match. For centuries, engineers have relied on physical laws -- developed by Newton and others -- to understand the stresses and strains on the materials they work with.
