Development of a method for the characterisation of the compliance and stiffness matrices of uncoupled laminates
(1999)
The mechanical behaviour of composite materials is defined by three matrices of
stiffness/compliance : in-plane, flexure and coupling matrix between in-plane and
flexure. The present work gives a method of test to ...
Factors influencing the mechanical behaviour of small devices such as stents
(2003)
A coronary stent is a mechanical device designed to open arteries that have been occluded. The manufacturing of stents involves the laser cutting of specific designs in stainless steel tubes. In order to determine factors ...
