    Fracture Mechanics - Crack Propagation and Stress Intensity Factors

    Yea, I realize a real world test would be the best option at this point. Unfortunately, the people with the money make the calls.

    Fracture Mechanics - Crack Propagation and Stress Intensity Factors

    I am trying to determine the critical crack length of a part using finite element analysis. The software I am using (ABAQUS) has the ability to perform fracture analysis. I model the part, create a crack, and ABAQUS will output the stress intensity factors (modes I, II, and III) and contour...

    Could Magnetic Circulation Be the Key to Propelling Spacecraft?

    Stinger, did you just finish watching the movie "Event Horizon" when you came up with the idea? A magnet that rotates so quickly that it simulates an object with extremely large mass distorting space and allowing the spaceship to fly through this bend in space to galaxies far far away.

    Can a standard ATV handle speeds over 100mph and still turn safely?

    Take your standard to large size ATV and make it go over 100mph. Will it be able to turn...at all? I would imagine that there would be a lot of difficulties just because the wheel base (dont know if that is the term or not...I mean the distance between the two front or the two rear tires) is...

    Bode Diagrams for Transfer Function: (s+2)/(s*(s+10)*(s^2+2s+2))

    So I have a midterm on Bode Diagrams and Root-Locus on Thursday...and I can not do either. At this point I am only focusing on the Bode diagrams because they are a bit easier and I want to master them now so that I can devote the rest of my time to the Root-Locus. Say I have the transfer...
