Overview of Intergranular Fracture of Neutron Irradiated Austenitic Stainless Steels
Metals, 2017 Austenitic stainless steels are normally ductile and exhibit deep dimples on fracture surfaces. These steels can, however, exhibit brittle intergranular fracture under some circumstances.

Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

The ab-initio aided strain gradient elasticity theory: a new concept for fracture nanomechanics
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2019 When the width of cracked nanocomponents made of brittle or quasi-brittle materials is less than approximately , the size of the - dominance zone becomes smaller than and comparable to the fracture process zone ( ).

Regularities of Brittle Fracture Zone Formation in the Zone of Dyke Around Horizontal Mine Workings
EngMine development in complex geological conditions is associated with the risk of mine stability loss. Geological features such as dykes are characterized by higher strength and a tendency to undergo brittle fracture under the influence of the tectonic ...

Elastic Instability behind Brittle Fracture
Physical Review LettersWe argue that nucleation of brittle cracks in initially flawless soft elastic solids is preceded by a nonlinear elastic instability, which cannot be captured without accounting for geometrical precise description of finite elastic deformation. As a prototypical problem we consider a homogeneous elastic body subjected to tension and assume that it is ...
