This was a major scientific achievement. However, his solution for the metric of a spherically symmetric spacetime is different than the one found in textbooks today—because Schwarzschild assumed, like in Newtonian gravity, that only one singularity could exist. Given the newness of Einstein's general theory of relativity and the existing paradigm of Newtonian gravity, his assumption was natural. While other authors have previously pointed out this shortcoming and corrected it, the contribution of this paper is to show how Schwarzschild might have discovered it himself. A simple geometric proof indicates how Schwarzschild, with a different assignment of a single constant of integration, would have arrived at the metric found in textbooks today.}, number={1}, journal={PHYSICS ESSAYS}, author={Miller, Lane R. and Silverberg, Larry M. and Eischen, Jeffrey W. and Miller, Samuel R.}, year={2024}, month={Mar}, pages={74–79} }

Furthermore, their trajectories will be influenced by gravitational sources. Accordingly, this paper applies to interstellar missions a recently developed formulation of relativistic mechanics that predicts a spacecraft’s trajectory when it passes by a gravitational source at a relativistic speed. The formulation, called spacetime impetus, is unique in that it employs a relativistic universal law of gravitation that does not explicitly require general relativity while producing precisely the same results. Based on these developments, an analyst can now update nonrelativistic mission planning codes to give them general relativistic capabilities. It requires augmenting the code with relativistic velocities and relativistic accelerations, the replacement of the universal law of gravitation with a relativistic universal law of gravitation, and setting up Lorentz transformations between frames.}, journal={JOURNAL OF SPACECRAFT AND ROCKETS}, author={Silverberg, Larry M. and Eischen, Jeffrey W.}, year={2023}, month={Sep} }

 SI replaces Newton’s second law F = ma governing the motion of particles, where F, m, and a are, respectively, interaction force, mass, and acceleration, with the change equation P = k governing the motion of fragments of energy,
 where P and k are, respectively, action force and the curvature of a path in spacetime. To verify SI, we conducted three tests: Test 1 predicted the precession angles of Mercury and Jupiter, test 2 predicted the bending angle of light as it grazes the surface of the sun, and
 test 3 predicted the radius of the photon sphere. All three tests were in agreement with GR, the third corresponding to strong Riemannian curvature in GR. The equations of motion in SI are in terms of Cartesian coordinates and time and are relatively simple to solve. Undergraduate students

A cross section through the fracture initiation site showed areas of surface contact wear in the microstructure. Fretting wear resulted in crack initiation and propagated to form a through crack under reverse bending fatigue crack growth mechanism. A combination of crack growth simulation tool (FRANC3D) and finite element analysis solver (MSC NASTRAN) was used and automated to handle multiple crack growth iterations. The simulation results obtained showed good correlation to failure crack path and cycles to failure. These simulation results were also used to understand the root cause of failure, identify critical parameters causing failure and recommend design modifications to prevent fretting fatigue in frame of heavy duty trucks.

This manufacturing defect acted as a stress raiser and resulted in fatigue crack initiation. Simulation of crack growth on frame rail using dynamic loads from a full vehicle model was completed.

However, the mechanical degradation of lithium-ion batteries initiated by micro cracks is considered to be a bottleneck for advancing the current technology. This study utilizes a finite element method-based virtual crack closure technique to obtain particle- and crack-size-dependent estimates of mixed-mode energy release rates and stress intensity factors. Interfacial cracks in orthotropic bi-materials are considered in the current study, whereas the crack extension along the interface is assumed. The results show that energy release rate, stress intensity factor, and the propensity of crack extension are particle- and crack-size- dependent. In particular, our results show that for smaller plate-like LiFePO 4 particles (100 nm × 45 nm), a crack has lesser tendency to extend if crack-to-particle size is less than 0.2, and for 200 nm × 90 nm particles, similar results are obtained for crack-to-particle sizes of less than 0.15. However, for larger particles (500 nm × 225 nm), it requires an almost flawless particle to have no crack extension. Therefore, the current study provides insight into the fracture mechanics of LiFePO 4 and the associated crack-to-particle size dependency to prevent crack extensions.}, number={1}, journal={AIMS Materials Science}, publisher={American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS)}, author={Stamps, Michael A. and Eischen, Jeffrey W. and Huang, Hsiao-Ying Shadow}, year={2016}, pages={190–203} }

In Part I, we report results of an investigation of drape variability for a set of fabrics having varied mechanical properties, an essential step in defining accuracy for drape simulation. Results illustrate that fabric drape behaviour is highly variable and thus provide no single drape configuration to target with simulation. Development of a revolutionary method for capturing drape of actual fabrics and measuring that drape in a virtual three-dimensional (3D) environment is also presented. The method allows identical drape measurement processes to be implemented for actual and simulated fabrics and provides opportunity for use of additional measures to assess fabric drape in three dimensions.

However, fabric mechanical property values as derived using industry test methods cannot be input directly into the commercial software to produce simulations that accurately represent a specific fabric. A systematic way of selecting input parameters to a particle model was developed by comparing the drape of circular fabric samples whose mechanical properties were measured by the Kawabata evaluation system to simulations produced by the particle model using methods developed in Part I of this paper. Also, a relationship was developed between measured fabric mechanical properties and simulation input parameters and then tested on simulations of apparel samples.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE}, author={Pandurangan, Pradeep and Eischen, Jeffrey and Kenkare, Narahari and Lamar, Traci A.

The new test method involves recording the deformed coordinates of a fabric sample as it is cantilevered under its own weight from a fixed support. By applying least squares polynomial regression and numerical differentiation techniques, the coordinate data along with the values of fabric weight per unit area are used to construct the moment-curvature relationship of the fabric. This method and its associated computer algorithm have been validated by numerical simulations and experimental observations. The nonlinear moment-curvature rela tionship was used to approximate the nonlinear bending stiffness in fabrics. The ad vantage of this method is that the fabric nonlinear bending behavior, which is inherent in most fabrics, can be well represented; this property may not always be obtained from the traditional cantilever beam test.}, number={9}, journal={Textile Research Journal}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Clapp, T.G. and Peng, H. and Ghosh, T.K. and Eischen, J.W.}, year={1990}, month={Sep}, pages={525–533} }

Timoshenko’s analysis, which is based on strength of materials theory, is unable to predict the distribution of the interfacial shear and normal stresses known to exist based on more sophisticated analyses involving the theory of elasticity (Bogy (1970) and Hess (1969)). Suhir (1986) has recently provided a very insightful approximate method whereby these interfacial stresses are estimated by simple closed-form formulas. The purpose of the present paper is to compare three independent methods of predicting the interfacial normal and shear stresses in bimaterial strips subjected to thermal loading. These are: 1.) Theory of elasticity via an eigenfunction expansion approach proposed by Hess, 2.) Extended strength of materials theory proposed by Suhir, 3.) Finite element stress analysis. Two material configurations which figure prominently in the electronics area have been studied. These are the molydeneum/aluminum and aluminum/silicon material systems. It has been discovered that when the two layers are nearly the same thickness, the approximate methods adequately predict the peak values of the interfacial stresses but err in a fundamental manner in the prediction of the distribution of stress. This may not be of concern to designers who are interested mainly in maximum stress alone. However, it has been shown that if one layer is relatively thin compared to the other, the approximate methods have difficulty in predicting both the peak value of stress and its associated distribution.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Electronic Packaging}, publisher={ASME International}, author={Eischen, J.

Mindlin's plate theory is also treated within this framework. Of particular interest is the accomodation of the effect of a distributed pressure load. Relationships between J and the stress intensity factors are presented and employed for solving several example problems with the aid of finite element analysis. Detailed modeling of the crack tip region is completely avoided with this formulation. The stress intensity factor is computed for the case of a square plate containing a through crack and subjected to uniform transverse pressure loading.
