Designing phase‐adaptive UHTC multilayer composites: Layer width effects on mechanical and kinetic properties

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The B1 rocksalt transition metal carbides and nitrides are among the materials with the highest melting temperatures. Additionally, members of this group of materials possess high‐temperature strength with ductility facilitated by diffusional creep.

Influence of Notch Geometry and Temperature on the Mechanical Properties of Al‐Mg Alloy Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 48, Issue 11, Page 4769-4783, November 2025.
ABSTRACT At the near‐threshold regime, small irregularities on the surface can interact with the microstructure and affect the nucleation and propagation of cracks. Molecular dynamics is an effective methodology to investigate the damage evolution at this scale, and three types of defects, namely, triangular, rectangular, and crack, are examined.

Numerical Analysis of the Influence of In-Plane Constraints on the Crack Tip Opening Displacement for SEN(B) Specimens Under Predominantly Plane Strain Conditions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2016
This paper presents a numerical analysis of the relationship between in-plane constraints and the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) for single-edge notched bend (SEN(B)) specimens under predominantly plane strain conditions.

Fatigue Crack Growth from Notches: A Numerical Analysis

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
A numerical approach based on plastic crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) was followed to study fatigue crack growth (FCG) from notches. The identification of fundamental mechanisms was made considering notched and unnotched models, with and without ...

A Structural Integrity Perspective for the Assessment of Ageing in Composite Solid Propellants

open access: yesPropellants, 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.

An Experimental Study of Fracture Parameters of Concrete Produced With Basalt Aggregate by Peak‐Load Method

open access: yesAdvances 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.

The effect of mechanical inhomogeneity in microzones of welded joints on CTOD fracture toughness of nuclear thick-walled steel

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2023
This study employs the microshear test method to examine the local mechanical properties of narrow-gap welded joints, revealing the mechanical inhomogeneity by evaluating the microshear strength, stress‒strain curves, and failure strain.
