Electrostatically Reinforced Double Network Granular Hydrogels. [PDF]
Electrostatically reinforced double network granular hydrogels (DNGHs) with cartilage‐like fracture energy are introduced. An empirical model predicts the composition‐dependent fracture energy based on dissipation zone size, contact area, and inter‐particle adhesion energy. Thanks to their granular structure and the inter‐particle attraction, the DNGHs

Strain Field Around Individual Dislocations Controls Failure. [PDF]
By conducting in situ transmission electron microscopy strain mapping during a nanoscale fracture experiment, the dislocation processes taking place at the crack tip in the rather brittle metal chromium is detailed. Moreover, for the first time, the local stress fields of the dislocations shielding the crack is directly measured. Abstract Understanding

Abstract The current work investigates the relationship between the crack growth rate (CGR) and the cyclic crack‐tip opening displacement (ΔCTOD) of microstructurally small fatigue cracks by using high‐resolution digital image correlation (DIC). Load‐controlled fatigue tests were conducted on small‐scale specimens of 18%Cr body‐centered cubic ferritic ...

Abstract The effects of mechanical and microstructural anisotropy on short fatigue crack initiation and propagation behaviors of a directionally solidified superalloy have been studied. An unusual result was found where the fatigue lives of specimens with grains longitudinally aligned along the loading direction fail at lower lifetimes than specimens ...

Abstract The present study aims to characterize the cracking behaviour of high-density poly-ethylene (HDPE) pipe elbow. Experimental studies were performed to determine the mechanical behaviour of HDPE and study the anisotropy of the material. Tension tests were performed on compact tension (CT) specimens to identify the toughness value, expressed by

Dislocation toughening in single‐crystal KNbO3
Abstract The growing research interest in dislocation‐tuned functionality in ceramics is evident, with the most recent proofs‐of‐concept for enhanced ferroelectric properties, electrical conductivity, and superconductivity via dislocations. In this work, we focus on dislocation‐tuned mechanical properties and demonstrate that, by engineering high ...

Fatigue crack growth in notched specimens: a numerical analysis
Fatigue crack growth (FCG) is linked to irreversible and non-linear processes happening at the crack tip, which explains different problems observed in the use of da/dN-?K curves. The replacement of ?K by non-linear crack tip parameters, namely the crack
