This study is dedicated to the characterization and modelling of the mechanical behavior of a titanium alloy under complex strain paths representative of incremental forming. A combined experimental and numerical approach is to be developed. A commercial alloy in sheet form is considered (cf. attached file for a full description).

Submitted by Neda.km on

Hi 

I have B.Sc from Sharif University of Technology, Iran and M.S. from Northeastern University in  Boston, US, both in Mechanical Engineering.

I have a strong background in Mathematics, Nonlinear Dynamics, Vibrations and Control, and some years of related experience in these fields. Furthermore, I do have a great deal of the programming skills and computational methods with an extensive computer software knowledge. I am also interested in working on Vehicle Control, Robotics, Tribology (friction and surface sliding) and Vibrations.

Can you "chop" a mechanical wave?

Submitted by Ahmed Elbanna on

In this paper we highlight several interesting phenomena that may emerge from coupling simple elastic systems like 1d bars. While in compostes we usually focus on wave propagation normal to the stratification direction (composite layers are coupled in series), here we show that extreme attenuation at multiple frequencies may emerge in linear systems that are coupled transversaly. We also introduce a simple device that act as a chopper for mechanical signals.
