The mechanical properties of electrochemically deposited Li whiskers critically determine the failure mechanisms of Li metal batteries, yet they remain elusive at the single-whisker level. Here, the ...

EZbolt is a Python program that calculates bolt forces in a bolt group subject to shear and in-plane torsion. It does so using both the Elastic Method and the Instant Center of Rotation (ICR) method ...

Yield stress is a critical parameter in materials engineering, as it provides essential information about the mechanical behavior of materials under stress. The yield stress represents the point at ...

The decrease in the subgrade modulus immersed in rainwater can significantly increase the fracture risk of a cement concrete pavement plate. The aim of this study was to develop a meshless finite ...

Composite fiber materials are superior materials due to their high strength and light weight. Composites reflect the properties of their constituents, which is proportional to the volume fraction of ...

Soil-facing mechanical interactions play an important role in the behavior of earth-retaining walls. Generally, numerical analysis of earth-retaining structures requires the use of interface elements ...
