Explores failure mechanisms in MEMS, covering design, manufacturing, and in-use failures, emphasizing reliability considerations and mitigation strategies for mechanical shock and vibration resistance.
Delves into the mechanical properties and strengthening mechanisms of alloys, including dislocations, slip systems, and various strengthening mechanisms.
Discusses the 'hot-spot' method for evaluating fatigue in welded joints and the influence of weld type, shape, length, and thickness on fatigue resistance.
Explores smart composites with self-healing capabilities, shape memory alloys, impact protection, and structural health monitoring using sensing fibers.
