(2023-03-21)Glass surface damage is a major issue for glass makers, suppliers, and end users. The cracking behavior that governs glass surface damage is not yet completely understood. In many cases, fracture results from a sharp contact ...
-
(1984)Critical energy release rates have been determined for two composite systems. The effect of resin thickness on fracture toughness in brittle fiber - ductile resin systems has been investigated. Material resin content has ...
-
(2019-11-12)Hybrid materials are a cornerstone technology for triblological applications because the weakness of each material can be made up and their strength can be improved. Material failure caused by the unpredictable wear is ...
-
(2020-11-25)Shape memory alloys (SMAs) can handle large deformations through martensitic phase transformation and reversible transformation from austenite to martensite under temperature and/or stress changes. Due to their amazing ...
-
(2020-07-21)Nanoscale fillers blended with polymers (“nanocomposites”) offer the real possibility of creating materials with properties that are not realizable with traditional, micron-scale fillers. In order to improve the performance ...
-
(2023-04-26)Using polymers in soil stabilization is prevalent over the past decade. The improvements in mechanical properties and the underlying mechanisms have been of high interest among researchers and civil engineers. In this ...
-
(2011-10-21)Geopolymers (GPs) are a new class of inorganic polymers that have been considered as good candidate materials for many applications, including fire resistant and refractory panels, adhesives, and coatings, waste encapsulation ...
-
(2021-04-23)A micro-scale investigation of mechanical rock properties is carried out in this study. Two of the main mechanical properties being investigated are rock elastic properties, identified by the Transversely Isotropic (TI) ...
-
(2019-07-02)Scratch test is one of the oldest concepts for characterizing mechanical properties of a material. The inference of the relationship between scratch force and material property is still a contemporary topic in applied ...
-
(2012-10-19)The fabrication and mechanical properties of Ti2AlC composites reinforced with the alumina oxide fibers, such as NextelTM 720 and ALBF1, were described in this thesis. Alumina fibers and Ti2AlC powders were dispersed in ...
-
(2015-05-12)Characterization of mode-I fracture toughness of ductile polymeric thin films is nontrivial. In order to gain understanding about the fracture mechanics and the processing-structure-property relationships of metallocene ...
