Structure design and reliability analysis of Al-Ti lugs
Aircraft lug joint is the key part of load transfer. In order to improve the safety of lug joint, on the premise of meeting the design requirements of static strength and fatigue, the composite connection lug structure design technology of different ...

Longevity through DNA damage tolerance [PDF]
The genome in every cell is constantly attacked by a large variety of exogenous and endogenous genotoxins. DNA damage has long been known as causal factor for cancer development and has more recently also been recognized as driving force of the aging process.1 Recent insights have shed light on how organisms respond to DNA damage accumulation by ...

Owing to a lack of microstructure, glassy materials are inherently strong but brittle, and often demonstrate extreme sensitivity to flaws. Accordingly, their macroscopic failure is often not initiated by plastic yielding, and almost always terminated by brittle fracture.

An experimental investigation of costs of tolerance against leaf and floral herbivory in the herbaceous weed horsenettle (Solanum carolinense, Solanaceae) [PDF]
Background and aims – A plant’s tolerance of herbivory depends on its ability to endure and compensate for damage so as to lessen the impact that herbivores have on the plant’s performance (e.g. its growth, reproduction, or fitness).
