9 Apr 2004: Yee and Pellegrino [3] have shown that these lami-nates are able to survive larger bending strains thanthe ultimate failure strains that are measured fromstandard coupon tests in pure tension or ... The most direct approach is to model these lami-nates

14 May 2002: This test confirmed a conclusion already reached bySeffen et al. (2000), that an advantage of this packagingscheme is that the membrane provides a useful couplingbetween the motion of the ribs.

12 Nov 2003: These systems can host test structures ofalmost unlimited size even when motion exists. ... disadvantage.However, the range of possible dimensions of test articles is almost unlimited.
