A Structural Integrity Perspective for the Assessment of Ageing in Composite Solid Propellants
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 50, Issue 10, Page 152-158, October 2025.ABSTRACT Composite solid propellants (CSPs) are critical materials in the defence and aerospace industries, known for their complex mechanical behaviour and susceptibility to ageing. This study explores the application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to discriminate the ageing degradation of CSPs based on structural integrity parameters.

Low temperature tensile properties of line pipe steels [PDF]
, 2015 Given the expected increase in Arctic oil and gas exploitation, there is a demand for high-strength line pipe steels able to cope with the Arctic climate. The state-of-the-art of the tensile properties of API 5L steels at low temperatures is reviewed and

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Limestone or river aggregates have been traditionally used as aggregates in ready‐mixed concrete from the past to the present. The depletion of these natural aggregates used in ready‐mixed concrete has led the concrete industry to investigate aggregate resources and search for alternative aggregates.

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 47, Issue 10, Page 3858-3873, October 2024.Abstract There are two methods for determining the fracture energy (Gf) of hot mix asphalt (HMA) composites at intermediate temperatures: (i) load–crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) and (ii) load–load line displacement (LLD) curves. The effects of these two methods on the Gf values of different HMA mixtures are investigated at different loading ...

The 1/r singularity in weakly nonlinear fracture mechanics
, 2009 Material failure by crack propagation essentially involves a concentration of large displacement-gradients near a crack's tip, even at scales where no irreversible deformation and energy dissipation occurs. This physical situation provides the motivation

The Breakdown of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics near the Tip of a Rapid Crack
, 2008 We present high resolution measurements of the displacement and strain fields near the tip of a dynamic (Mode I) crack. The experiments are performed on polyacrylamide gels, brittle elastomers whose fracture dynamics mirror those of typical brittle ...
