There are a variety of test methods that characterize the properties of adhesive bonds between two similar or dissimilar material layers. The differences between the methods relate to the stress ...

Jointing is a basic function of engineering. For example, bolting two parts together can involve material properties and loading forces. Here, we will focus on preloading, shear and tear-out in a ...

Researchers have developed a more precise method to identify and monitor shear crack development in concrete using acoustic emission analysis across multiple stress conditions. Published in Scientific ...
