In this paper, a class of smoothing modulus-based iterative method was presented for solving implicit complementarity problems. The main idea was to transform the implicit complementarity problem into ...

Abstract: This paper uses Newton's method to seek the global minimum of the constant modulus performance measure. Unlike the common practice of using the constant modulus adaptive algorithm, the new ...

Abstract: The elastic modulus is a fundamental index of material stiffness, serving as a bridge that connects the microscopic characteristics of materials to their macroscopic engineering performance.

Depth sensing indentation is a powerful experimental technique for determining mechanical properties of materials. In this work a computational routine was developed based on Oliver-Pharr method for ...

ABSTRACT: The most famous model known in prediction of dynamic modulus for asphalt concretes is the Witczak and Hirsh models. These models didn’t use the mineralogical and chemical properties of ...

The objective of this study was to compare three methods for determining the Young's modulus of polylactic acid (PLA) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) samples. The samples were manufactured ...
