The paper presents a procedure for determining Johnson-Holmquist II (JH-2) model
parameters for dolomite rock. The constants were determined based on experiments …

The generalized driving force and local shear resistance are introduced to reveal the
intrinsic mechanism of failure diffusion in brittle materials subjected to low-speed impact …

Glass is an omnipresent material which is widely used as façade in buildings. Damage of
glass windows and the associated glass fragments induced by impact and blast loads …

The purpose of this review is to introduce the interested reader to the literature on the use of
silica glasses in ballistic applications. These applications include optically transparent …

A novel methodology based on instrumented indentation is developed to determine the
mechanical properties of amorphous materials which present cohesive-frictional behaviour …

In this research, the dynamic response and energy absorption characteristics of four different
types of commercially available glass have been investigated experimentally. Soda lime …

Compared to the experimental studies, numerical studies on scratch test have been limited
due to the difficulty of numerical modeling. Here, we experimentally investigate the scratch …

While there have been notable advancements in the quality of epitaxial Ge on Si, the crystal
quality of bulk Ge remains much superior, which provides an effective method to study the …

In this study, the quasi-static biaxial fracture behavior of aluminosilicate glass is investigated
via Ball-On-Ring (BOR) and Ring-On-Ring (ROR) tests aided by a three-dimensional Digital …

Understanding the damage progression in aluminosilicate glass against impact loading is
all-important for the design of a transparent structure. The Edge-on impact (EOI) experiments …
