A critical overview of past research on the interaction integral (I-integral) method is
presented. The I-integral is the two-state mutual energy release rate decided by a …

This concise review chronicles recently emerged fatigue crack growth behaviors of
nanomaterials with prevalent Σ3 boundaries and the related modeling endeavors …

The size-dependent bending of perfectly/imperfectly bonded multilayered/stepwise
functionally graded nanobeams, eg multiwalled carbon nanotubes with weak van der Waals …

Dynamic Mode III interfacial fracture in a dissimilar square-cell lattice, composed of two
contrasting mass-spring lattice half-planes joined at an interface, is considered. The fracture …

Epoxy resin, modified with different particle sizes (50 nm, 100 nm, 200 nm) and contents (1
wt%, 3 wt%, 5 wt%, 7 wt%) was manufactured. The mechanical behaviors of tensile …

In contrast to the great success at the macroscale, fracture mechanics theory fails to describe
the fracture at a critical size of several nanometers due to the emerging effect of atomic …

Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is a typical engineering material with double phases, of
which graphite morphology largely determines its mechanical performances. Although …

We propose a new domain-independent interaction integral (DII-integral), which can
evaluate the dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs) of an interface crack in …

Fracture mechanics at micro‐and nano‐scale has become a very attractive topic in the last
years. However, the results are still few, mostly because of the lack of effective analytical …

For the past several decades, fracture mechanics concept and theories have been
successfully developed and advanced in the engineering field as here we celebrate 50th …
