Non-Schmid Effect on the Fracture Behavior of Tungsten
The fracture process of tungsten is dominated by the competition mechanism between the plastic deformation and the crack propagation near the crack tip. The non-Schmid (NS) effect, which considers the contribution of non-planar shear stress on the screw ...

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 ...
