Ceramic based thermal barrier coatings are extensively employed to shield critical
engineering components from harsh temperature environments, where the typical Fourier's …

In this paper, a new approach for measurement of the fracture toughness of concrete using
the edge cracked semi-cylinder disk (ECSD) specimens has been rendered. The critical …

In this paper we study the application of the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) to
interface crack analysis in linear elastic bimaterial fracture mechanics. Such problem …

The two, NBD and SCB tests using gypsum circular discs each containing a single notch
have been experimentally accomplished in a rock mechanics laboratory. These specimens …

The bonding interface of the concrete slab track and cement-asphalt mortar layer plays an
important role in transferring load and restraining the track slab's deformation for slab track …

In this paper, based on the distribution dislocation technique (DDT), multiple curved cracks
placed in an orthotropic FGM layer bonded to an orthotropic layer and also interface cracks …

This research examined the propagation of the crack in an initially strained anisotropic
magnetoelastic material due to SH-waves. For a concentrated load of constant intensity and …

In this paper the effect of confining pressure and tunnel depth on the ground vertical
settlement has been investigated using particle flow code (PFC2D). For this perpuse firstly …

In this paper, the interaction between notch and micro pore under uniaxial compression has
been performed experimentally and numerically. Firstly calibration of PFC2D was performed …

This study presents an analytical model for a piezoelectric rectangular plane weakened by
multiple cracks and cavities, under in-plane electric displacement and anti-plane shear …
