Interfacial delamination is one of the typical failure modes of solid oxide fuel cell, which is
caused by interfacial crack propagation. In order to improve the stability, durability and …

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) directly convert chemical energy into electrical power with
minimal carbon emission. However, maintaining consistently stable electrical power …

Loss of circulation while drilling is a challenging problem that may interrupt operations and
contaminate the subsurface formation. Analytical modeling of fluid flow in fractures is a tool …

Converting chemical energy into electricity is done by an electrochemical device known as a
fuel cell. Thermal stress is caused by high operating temperature, between 700 and 1,000° …

Uncertainties that commonly exist in mathematical models prevent accurate predictions of
solid oxide fuel cell performances and consequently impede the development and …

The electric-induced Joule heat plays a dominant role for the fracture and failure in
electronic devices, particularly in those with bi-material interfaces, yet the effect of Joule heat …

The corrugated solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) can effectively improve energy density and
transformation efficiency compared with conventional planar SOFC, but its stability and …

ABSTRACT A new benchmark with a high accurate solution is proposed for the verification
of numerical codes dealing with double-diffusive convection in a heterogeneous porous …

This paper aims to propose a novel fracture criterion to predict complex propagation
behaviors of a bimaterial interface crack, either delaminating along the interface or kinking …

Improvement of the fracture toughness by the introduction of thin, soft interlayers is
investigated. The mechanism is the strong decrease of the crack driving force when the …
