The fracture behaviors of disulfide vitrimers are highly rate-dependent. Our investigation
revealed that the temperature-dependent fracture behaviors of disulfide vitrimers cannot be …

In a compressible hyperelastic model for rubber-like materials, the strain energy function is
generally composed of the hydrostatic part corresponding to changes in interchain …

Dynamic networks contain crosslinks that re-associate after disconnecting, imparting them
with viscoelastic properties. While continuum approaches have been developed to analyze …

We investigate the rate-dependent fracture of vitrimers by conducting a tear test. Based on
the relationship between the fracture energy and the thickness of vitrimer films, we, for the …

Fracking, also known as hydraulic fracture, has been intensively studied in hard and brittle
materials such as shale rocks and ice. In contrast, little is known about fracking in soft solids …

Ductile fracture generally relates to microscopic voiding and to strain localization in metallic
materials. When the void size is reduced to the nanoscale, size effects often lead to a …

In order to estimate the cavitation incubation period of duplex stainless steel (DSS) under
ultrasonic cavitation erosion (CE), this paper analyzed the loading process of material …

Abstract “Dynamic networks” contain bonds that may disconnect and reattach reversibly,
imbuing them with nonlinear, viscoelastic mechanical response. Their mechanical response …

Vitrimers have recently emerged as a class of polymers combining great processability, self-
healing capability and high-temperature mechanical properties. Most of those salient …
