Cracks generated in micro and meso-scales pose a potential threat to the full product.
Numerous reports on microscale voids and cracks in Nomex honeycomb composites …

The critical effect of micro level defects should be examined at macro level to better
understand the fracture behaviors of engineering materials. This study investigates the …

The influence range of crack interaction is studied using the distribution dislocation
technique, and is defined as the influenced zone. For elastic materials with cracks, the …

The dynamic fracture behavior of brittle materials that contain micro-level cracks should be
examined when material subjected to impact loading. We investigated the effect of micro …

While multiple plastic deformation mechanisms at room temperature in the CrMnFeCoNi
high-entropy alloy (HEA) have been revealed experimentally, the qualitative and/or …

The matrix component of composite structures is generally brittle. In any damage
occurrence, fracture propagates rapidly through the structure. This study proposes a novel …

The effect of micro-defects on the fracture toughness and path is predicted by a machine
learning method. The data set of fracture toughness is obtained based on the distributed …

Vegetable oils have a destructive effect on the strength properties of cement-sand mortar
and hardened concrete, even with relatively short-term exposure. The degree of exposure …

Shear loading is induced on the surfaces of a crack that is aligned at an arbitrary angle in
relation to the direction of compressive loading. Contact faces may experience relative slip if …

The fracture evolution and damage mechanism of an engineering candidate, CrFeNi
medium-entropy alloy (MEA), which exhibits superior tensile properties with the ultimate …
