Influence of matrix toughness and interfacial strength on the toughness of epoxy composites with ductile steel fabric reinforcement [PDF]
, 2015 In the last decades, several studies have been performed on polymers reinforced with steel cords or wires. However, the diameter of these steel reinforcements was still quite large (200 micron and more).

Implementation of the Quasi-Brittle Damage Model for 2024 Aluminum Alloy under Periodic Loading [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technology, 2019 Damage mechanics is one of the most important parts of mechanical engineering that determines the time life for different mechanical elements. The most various models that have been provided so far in damage mechanics, are related to ductile or brittle ...

Damage accumulation of bovine bone under variable amplitude loads
Bone Reports, 2016 Stress fractures, a painful injury, are caused by excessive fatigue in bone. This study on damage accumulation in bone sought to determine if the Palmgren-Miner rule (PMR), a well-known linear damage accumulation hypothesis, is predictive of fatigue ...

A robust numerical framework for the analysis of material failure of fibre reinforced soft tissue [PDF]
, 2011 In this work, robustness and stability of continuum damage models applied to material failure in soft tissues are addressed. In the implicit damage models equipped with softening, the presence of negative eigenvalues in the tangent ...

Neutron emissions in brittle rocks during compression tests: Monotonic vs cyclic loading
, 2010 Neutron emission measurements, by means of 3He devices and neutron bubble detectors, were performed during two different kinds of compression tests on brittle rocks: (i) under displacement control, and (ii) under cyclic loading. The material used for the
