Static assessment of brittle/ductile notched materials: an engineering approach based on the Theory of Critical Distances [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2014 Engineering components often contain notches, keyways or other stress concentration features. These features raise the stress state in the vicinity of their apex which can lead to unexpected failure of the component.

A Global Sensitivity Analysis Framework for Hybrid Simulation with Stochastic Substructures
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021 Hybrid simulation is an experimental method used to investigate the dynamic response of a reference prototype structure by decomposing it to physically-tested and numerically-simulated substructures. The latter substructures interact with each other in a
