Five different test methods to determine the parallel-to-grain shear
strength of Douglas-fir structural lumber were compared. Four methods
assessed the shear strength of lumber sections having a full nominal two by
fo ...
In granular or fibrous materials, in which the dimensions of the internal
structure can be of the same order of magnitude as major flaws or holes, classical
elasticity theory does not consistently provide accurate mode ...
The growing use of light-frame wood trusses in the
residential and commercial construction has generated the
need for general analysis procedures for predicting
deformations and ultimate load of truss-plate joints, wh ...

Interbody fusion cages are increasingly used in the treatment of spinal disease and
injury in order to stabilize movement and promote arthrodesis of the vertebral bodies, but
the micro-mechanics of the interaction betw ...
In mining and mineral processing, compressive loading is often encountered
during the comminution of ore bearing minerals and in the wear resistant materials
used in the comminution circuit. A common thread joining man ...
Aluminum single crystals were cyclically deformed in single-slip at small strain amplitudes
at 77 K to presaturation. The observed mechanical behavior is consistent with other
recent work. The dislocation substructure ...
