Hopkinson bar experimental techniques have been extensively employed to investigate the
mechanical response and fracture behavior of engineering materials under high rate …

High performance structures require the use of different materials to meet their demanding
requirements. Especially fibre reinforced polymer composites are nowadays often bonded to …

We report the observation of coexisting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and Fermi gas in a
magnetic trap. With a very small fraction of thermal atoms, the 7 Li condensate is quasipure …

Classical dynamic fracture theories predict the surface wave speed to be the limiting speed
for propagation of in-plane cracks in homogeneous, linear elastic materials subjected to …

Recent experimental observations of intersonic shear rupture events that occur in a variety
of material systems have rekindled interest in the intersonic failure phenomenon. Since the …

This paper addresses the dynamic crack growth in an isotropic media subjected to a non-
classical thermal shock by implementing the Green-Naghdi (GN) generalized …

In this paper, dynamic crack propagation in a 2D isotropic medium under a generalized
thermal shock in the framework of eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is studied. A …

Advances in computing as well as measurement instrumentation have recently allowed for
the investigation of a wider spectrum of physical phenomena in dynamic failure than …

This article surveys existing cohesive zone models (CZM) and their use in numerical
simulations for analysis impacts on composite structures and predicting the damage …

This paper describes experimental observations of various phenomena characteristic of
dynamic intersonic decohesion of bimaterial interfaces. Two separate but complementary …
