The 171-foot-tall (52-meter-tall) vehicle exploded on a test stand at SpaceX's Starbase site late Wednesday night (June 18) ...
During this module you’ll look at Poisson’s Ratio and typical values of common materials; the relationship between the elastic constants; the relationship between bending moment, slope and deflection ...
Plane stress is particularly relevant for thin components which are loaded in a single plane. In the video I look at three examples of plane stress - a thin perforated plate, thin-walled pressure ...
When reviewing the pressure vessel certification tests prescribed by the applicable norms, many of the tests are significantly influenced by the prop­erties and proper processing of the epoxy matrix ...

Small imperfections in the thin-walled structure may have become more damaged with every trip the vessel took to visit the Titanic’s final resting place until it finally gave way to the immense ...
Last summer when the Titan submersible suffered a catastrophic implosion on its way to take passengers to see the Titanic shipwreck it was a dramatic example of the failure of a thin-walled structure.
It is significant to study the structure safety of thin-walled vessel under thermo-solid coupled load. In allusion to a thin-walled vessel of failure receiving low-frequency and high-temperature ...
Since the vessel wall is made up of muscles, YAP/TAZ is activated when we exercise, causing a temporary increase in blood pressure. This can prepare the vessel wall to better handle subsequent ...
