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 ...

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 fracture surface analysis in C45 steel specimens using X-Ray fractography [PDF]
X-Ray fractography is a useful technique to analyse the mechanisms operating in fracture and involves an examination of the fracture surface. In the present investigation, this technique has been employed to study the fatigue fracture behaviour of a ...

Abstract Micromechanics‐based continuum damage criteria have previously been developed to simulate the initiation of ductile fracture in structural steels under conditions with large‐scale plasticity where conventional fracture mechanics indices are invalid.

Transit‐oriented development (TOD) is a planning strategy that combines land use and transportation planning to promote economic, environmental, and social sustainability. While developed cities have embraced TOD, developing cities need to adopt it faster.

There are special cases in the marine industry, where additional material tests, such as the fracture toughness test, must be performed. Additional fracture toughness tests, such as CTOD (Crack Tip Opening Displacement), are typically performed on three ...

The post-yield fracture of a ductile polymer film: Notch quality, essential work of fracture, crack tip opening displacement, and J-integral [PDF]
Double edge notched tension (DENT) specimens of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film were tested in an universal testing machine, measuring the displacements and the ligament lengths with a digital image correlation (DIC) system.
