Spontaneous thermal runaway as an ultimate failure mechanism of materials [PDF]
The first theoretical estimate of the shear strength of a perfect crystal was given by Frenkel [Z. Phys. 37, 572 (1926)]. He assumed that as slip occurred, two rigid atomic rows in the crystal would move over each other along a slip plane.

On Two Approaches to Slope Stability Reliability Assessments Using the Random Finite Element Method
The random finite element method has been increasingly used in the geotechnical community to investigate the influence of soil spatial variability and to bridge the gap between a traditional design and a reliability-based design. There are two approaches

Analysis of wave clipping effects of plain reservoir artificial islands based on MIKE21 SW model
Plain reservoirs are shallow, and have low dams and widespread water surfaces. Therefore, wind-wave-induced damage to the dam is one of the important factors affecting the safety of the reservoir.

Structure-Sensitive Mechanism of Nanographene Failure
The response of a nanographene sheet to external stresses is considered in terms of a mechanochemical reaction. The quantum chemical realization of the approach is based on a coordinate-of-reaction concept for the purpose of introducing a mechanochemical
