Researchers have developed a simplified mathematical model (step-loading model, SLM) that unifies two earlier mechanisms to describe the velocity jump in crack propagation. Through SLM, they showed ...

Plastic strain refers to non-elastic deformation and can occur during specimen loading in a creep test. Plastic deformation can be measured using the hot-stepped loading process when the test is ...

Many voltage regulators are of the fixed output variety and include the voltage divider internal to the regulator. There are definite advantages to this approach, which allows active voltage trimming ...
