OCI is set to actively target the pitch market?pitch being a key raw material for isotropic synthetic graphite used in semiconductors?thereby expanding its portfolio of high value-added semiconductor ...

Additive manufacturing is an innovative technology that is disrupting several industries and research fields. 3D printing techniques possess several advantages over conventional manufacturing methods, ...

The range of Poisson’s ratio for isotropic materials is restricted to between -1 and +0.5. From the relationship between shear modulus, bulk modulus and Poisson’s ratio it turns out that the positive ...

This blog comes from my discussions with Steve Savoie, a manufacturing and tooling engineer who spoke at last year’s International Boatbuilders Exhibition (IBEX). Steve has a background in both ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The purpose of this research is to investigate a pure axial shear problem for the annular region between two concentric rigid cylinders ...

Subjecting a material to a hydrostatic stress also causes elastic deformation. The stress is the pressure, p, acting on the body and the strain, d = DV/V. These quantities are related through a ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have designed a new class of 3D-printed lattice structures that are lightweight and highly stiff, a combination that is not supposed to be ...
