An extension of the Equivalent Material Concept applied to fracture of U-notched solids
Abstract The Equivalent Material Concept is a tool that allows the fracture behavior of notched components in elastoplastic materials to be analyzed by transforming them into fictitious linear elastic ones, defining a fictitious failure stress. The combination of a failure criterion with this approach offers a methodology for predicting the maximum ...

Fracture Behavior of Two Biopolymers Containing Notches: Effects of Notch Tip Plasticity
This paper analyzes the notch effect on the fracture behavior of two biomaterials (a brittle bone cement and a ductile dental material) under mode I loading. U-notched Brazilian disk (UNBD) specimens of both materials were tested under remote compression,

Towards a Highly Sensitive Piezoelectric Nano-Mass Detection—A Model-Based Concept Study
The detection of exceedingly small masses still presents a large challenge, and even though very high sensitivities have been archived, the fabrication of those setups is still difficult. In this paper, a novel approach for a co-resonant mass detector is
