Laser-induced spallation is a process in which a stress wave generated from a rapid, high-
energy laser pulse initiates the ejection of surface material opposite the surface of laser …

The adhesion between coating-substrate systems is an important factor in determining the
performance and durability of coated engineering components. This paper reviews the …

Applied Mechanics of Polymers: Properties, Processing, and Behavior provides readers with
an overview of the properties, mechanical behaviors and modeling techniques for accurately …

This paper proposes a state-of-the-art laser adhesion test. It consists of testing material
interfaces with laser-driven shock wave. Since the first demonstration in the 1980s by …

Thin films of mechanochemically active polymer were subjected to laser-generated, high
amplitude acoustic pulses. Stress wave propagation through the film produced large …

Optical materials engineered to dynamically and selectively manipulate electromagnetic
waves are essential to the future of modern optical systems. In this paper, we simulate …

We investigate the adhesion behavior between polyimide and silica glass using molecular
dynamics simulations, which is important for improving the manufacturing process of flexible …

A new methodology is developed to activate and characterize mechanochemical
transformations at a solid interface. Maleimide–anthracene mechanophores covalently …

Selective ablation of thin films for the development of new photovoltaic panels and
sensoring devices based on amorphous silicon (a-Si) is an emerging field, in which laser …

Temporary and permanent macromolecular conformational changes can accompany the
deformation of elastomers under high strain rate loading. Mechanical failure can occur as …
