Bolted joints are some of the most fundamental yet incredibly strong connections used in modern engineering and construction.

Id: 003798 Credits Min: 3 Credits Max: 3 Description. The application of Newton's Laws to engineering problems in statics. The free-body diagram method is emphasized. Topics include vector algebra, ...

In this work, we consider a model system where a rigid cylindrical punch is detached from an elastic substrate under normal force, shear force or both. Our focus is to determine the pull-off force and ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

Force networks form the skeleton of static granular matter1,2. They are the key factor that determines mechanical properties such as stability3, elasticity4,5 and sound transmission6,7, which are ...
