Toughness of an interface along a thin ductile layer joining elastic solids

V Tvergaard, JW Hutchinson - Philosophical Magazine A, 1994 - Taylor & Francis
The contribution of plastic deformation to the effective work of fracture is computed for a
crack lying along one of the interfaces of a thin ductile layer joining two elastic solids. A …

Ductile failure of a constrained metal foil

AG Varias, Z Suo, CF Shih - Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 1991 - Elsevier
A metal foil bonded between stiff ceramic blocks may fail in a variety of ways, including de-
adhesion of interfaces, cracking in the ceramics and ductile rupture of the metal. If the …

The effect of water vapor on the oxidation of alloys that develop alumina scales for protection

R Janakiraman, GH Meier, FS Pettit - Metallurgical and Materials …, 1999 - Springer
Cyclic oxidation tests have been performed at 1100° C in wet and dry air on a number of
alloys and coatings that form α-Al 2 O 3 scales upon exposure to oxidizing conditions. The …

The fracture resistance of metal-ceramic interfaces

AG Evans, BJ Dalgleish - Acta metallurgica et materialia, 1992 - Elsevier
