In almost any force sensor application, forces other than the one(s) being measured will be present. These extraneous forces will invariably cause errors in the measured values through what is called ...

Lithium metal is the ideal anode for the next generation of high-energy-density batteries. Nevertheless, dendrite growth, side reactions and infinite relative volume change have prevented it from ...

Introduces linear algebra and matrices with an emphasis on applications, including methods to solve systems of linear algebraic and linear ordinary differential equations. Discusses vector space ...

The dynamic analysis of multibody systems has been significantly advanced through the application of the Transfer Matrix Method (TMM), a robust tool that facilitates the study of complex mechanical ...

In my previous column (see “Editor's Picks,” at right), I discussed transverse flexural testing of a unidirectional composite as one method of evaluating the strength of the fiber/matrix interfacial ...
