Investigating Crack Resistance Behavior of Polypropylene Using J integral, J‐R Curve and Fractographic Analysis

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 3404-3419, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, the fracture response of polypropylene (PP) was assessed using J‐integral evaluation, J‐R curve construction, and fractography examination. J‐R and load–displacement curves were analyzed to determine critical loads and estimate J‐integral values based on standards established for polymer fracture testing, which led to the ...

Nondestructive Testing of Welded Composite Metal Foams

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 14, 22 July 2026.
X‐ray computed tomography (CT) is used to evaluate welded steel–steel composite metal foam (CMF) joints of two density classes. It reports variation in postweld spatial void distribution and correlates it to weld‐induced changes, mechanical performance, and failure within welded CMF panels.

Topology‐Enriched Toughness Enhancement in Quasi‐Periodic Metastructures Featuring Tailorable Strong‐Weak Network

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 40, 17 July 2026.
A quasi‐periodic Dart‐Kite (QDK) metastructure with a golden‐ratio‐constrained strong–weak bond network simultaneously enhances strength, toughness, and damage tolerance. Its distributed topology enables predictable, tailorable crack paths for precise fracture control and stable mechanics, demonstrating a high‐performance, controllable architecture ...

Strength–Ductility Balance in Additively Manufactured Laminated Fe‐Cr‐Ni/Fe‐Cr‐Ni‐Cu Alloy Heterostructures

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Fe‐Cr‐Ni‐Cu alloy has been extensively utilized over the past few decades due to its low cost yet high strength. Nevertheless, the poor ductility of this alloy limits its real application in industrial fields. In this study, a soft Fe‐Cr‐Ni alloy was combined with a Fe‐Cr‐Ni‐Cu alloy by laser‐directed energy deposition (LDED) to fabricate the ...
