in this research, a novel method to decrease micro-residual stresses of fibrous composites by adding carbon nanotubes (cnts) is proposed in detail. the negative coefficient of thermal expansion and the high young’s modulus of cnts can be utilized to counterbalance the process induced residual stresses in composites. to this end, first, the effects of adding cnts to the matrix of fibrous composi...

A magnetlc method for the measurement of residual longitudinol stress i n the outer portions of cylindrical bars is developed and applaed to nickel and steel. I t involves measurement of the reversible effective permeobili ty over a range of frequency of the applted alternating field. Special composite specimens, in which ony desired level of residual stress con be produced, serve as idealized ...

AbstmctMembranes supported by posts are used as vibrating elements of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs). The residual stress built up during the fabrication process determines the transducer properties such as resonance frequency, collapse voltage, and gap distance. Hence, it is important t o evaluate and control the stress in thin film CMUT membranes. The residual stress ...

structural health monitoring of cracked structures is one of beloved subject of researchers recently. consider of crack behavior in the water and energy pipeline is important because of environmental problems. in this paper consider of crack parameters in the underwater pipe subjected to mechanical transient load is investigated. for this purpose, three- dimensional parametric model of cracked ...
