Exoskeletons of Odontodactylus japonicas, the" smasher-type" mantis shrimp, feature a
raptorial appendage comprising a Bouligand architecture of chitin nanofibrils with newly …

The paper is focused on the investigation of fatigue crack growth in rail steel. Mode I and its
combination with mode II are one of the frequent reason for rail failures. Therefore, mode I …

In this paper the vibrational behaviour of a cracked cantilever beam carrying end mass and
rotary inertia is investigated. The transverse and axial vibrations of the beam are coupled …

The explicit expressions of steady-state responses of a coupled bending-torsional
Timoshenko beam with cracks and damping effect subjected to external harmonic loadings …

This paper presents an extension of a simple and convenient method proposed by Kienzler
and Herrmann [An elementary theory of defective beams. Acta Mech 1986; 62: 37–46] to …

The theories for crack initiation orientation under biaxial loading based on the singular
elastic field may become inaccurate as the crack tip plasticity increases. In this study, a …

A three-dimensional failure initiation criterion in brittle materials containing a sharp V-notch
is presented and validated by experiments. It is based on simultaneous fulfilment of the …

The main coolant piping material Z3CN20. 09 M was heat treated at 400° C for 18,000 h and
then the fracture behavior has been studied. To understand the effect of in-plane constraint …
