Experimental methodology for the quantification of crack tip plastic zone and shape from the analysis of displacement fields [PDF]
The current work presents a novel methodology for the experimental quantification of the crack tip plastic zone during fatigue crack growth. This methodology is based on the application of yield criteria to estimate the area and the shape of the plastic ...

Interface crack between dissimilar one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals with piezoelectric effect [PDF]
In this paper, an interface crack between dissimilar one-dimensional (1D) hexagonal quasicrystals with piezoelectric effect under anti-plane shear and in-plane electric loadings is studied. By using integral transform techniques, the mixed boundary value

Superhard bulk high-entropy carbides with enhanced toughness via metastable in-situ particles
Despite the extremely high hardness of recently proposed high-entropy carbides (HECs), the low fracture toughness limits their applications in harsh mechanical environment. Here, we introduce a metastability engineering strategy to achieve superhard HECs

Crack-tip shielding in silica at room temperature
When water penetrates into silica surfaces near a crack tip, it reacts with the SiO$_{2}$ network and generates hydroxyl $\equiv$SiOH. Due to the hydroxyl generation, the glass must expand. Since a free expansion is not possible for the thin layers on the undeformed bulk material, compressive stresses occur which shield the crack-tip region from ...
