Tensile tests were performed on nine carbon nanocoils using a focused-ion-beam technique. An individual CNC was picked up using -- an FIB, and a CNC bridge formed between a probe and the spring-table ...

These days, it’s common among us hackers to load a stepper motor with forces in-line with their shaft–especially when we couple them to leadscrews or worm gears. Unfortunately, steppers aren’t really ...

Axial loading of the calcaneus-talus-tibia complex is an important injury mechanism for moderate and severe vehicular foot-ankle trauma. To develop a more definitive and quantitative relationship ...

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 ...

If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...

Bearing deflection or yield is elastic deformation occurring between balls and raceways because of external loads. Bearing deflection or yield is elastic deformation occurring between balls and ...
