Monitoring and analyzing the integrity of structures, infrastructure, and machines is essential
for economic, operational, and safety reasons. The assessment of structural integrity and …

The microstructure and texture evolution of AA8021 aluminum foil during annealing at 270 C
with heating rates of 10 C h− 1 and 40 C h− 1 were investigated by the optical microscope …

The mechanical response and the failure mode of thin metal foils under tensile load has
been analyzed supplementing the usual test records with full-field measurements performed …

Skin is the most extended organ in human body representing 16% of the total body weight
with a surface extension up to 2 m2. From a mechanical viewpoint, skin can be described by …

In thin notched sheets under tensile loading, wrinkling appears on the sheet surface,
specifically around the cracked area. This is due to local buckling and compression stresses …

Ultra-thin stainless steel foils have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional
mechanical properties, including light weight, high strength, toughness, corrosion …

The fatigue life of aerospace components depends greatly on the mechanical properties of
the finished surface layer. However, no independent strength test of this layer has been …

The evolution of the fracture processes occurring in thin metal foils can be evidenced by
tensile tests performed on samples of non-standard dimensions. The load versus …
