A non-deterministic phase field (PF) virtual modelling framework is proposed for three-
dimensional dynamic brittle fracture. The developed framework is based on experimental …

The prediction of the damage mechanism of the concrete-soil multilayered medium
subjected to underground explosion is a challenging task to address. In this paper, the …

The Charpy impact toughness is a crucial mechanical parameter in the application of
materials within the realm of engineering. This study represents the pioneering investigation …

A series of experiments and simulations were performed to explore the effect of loading rate

In this work, the effect of pre-deformation loading on the cyclic hysteresis behavior of
nanocrystalline NiTi alloy is investigated by the molecular dynamic. The nanocrystalline NiTi …

Abstract In this study, TiB 2–TiN-based composite ceramic materials modified with NiTi were
prepared by a two-step spark plasma sintering process (900° C/3 min+ 1650° C/5 min). The …

The laser welding technology of ultra-thick plates has been widely applied in many crucial
engineering structures, where its safety and stability still suffer from the residual stress …

The primary objective of this study was to explore the crystal orientation-dependent fracture
mechanism of nickel–titanium (NiTi) alloys by using molecular dynamics simulations. We …

Abstract Die-cast Al–Si aluminium alloys are increasingly used in the lightweight design of
automobiles; their mechanical properties under dynamic loading are crucial and thus must …

This study presents an efficient methodology to assess fracture behavior in nanoscale
multilayers. After fabricating a nano-cantilever specimen of Cu/Si/SiN, a notch with the tip …
