Ubiquitiformal fracture energy
The ubiquitiformal fracture energy is proposed in the paper and its explicit expression is obtained. Moreover, the numerical results for concrete are found to be in good agreement with those for the critical strain energy release rate. The discrepancy between the numerical results of the traditional fracture energy and the critical strain energy ...

Interfacial fracture toughness of composite concrete beams [PDF]
A test for measuring the interfacial fracture toughness of a bi-material interface, essentially for concrete overlaid pavements was developed. The measured interfacial fracture toughness of steel fibre-reinforced, roller-compacted, polymer modified ...

Moisture damage evaluation using energy based responses
Monotonic Indirect Tensile tests were performed on asphalt concrete mixtures made of two different types of aggregates. Since the environmental condition is a determining factor in propagation of moisture damage, the effects of temperature and aging were

Effectiveness of Hybrid Fibers on the Fracture and Shear Behavior of Prestressed Concrete Beams
This study investigates the effectiveness of hybrid fibers (steel and macro-synthetic) on the shear behavior of prestressed concrete beams. The hybrid fiber combination was selected to avoid workability issues at high volume dosages and ensure effective ...

Vibrated concrete vs. self-compacting concrete: comparison of fracture mechanics properties [PDF]
This study focuses on the fracture mechanics aspect of self-compacting concrete, compared to vibrated concrete. The most commonly used experiments to investigate the toughness and cracking behaviour of concrete are the three-point bending test (3PBT) on ...

Tumors contain diverse cellular states whose behavior is shaped by context‐dependent gene coordination. By comparing gene–gene relationships across biological contexts, we identify adaptive transcriptional modules that reorganize into distinct vulnerability axes.

Thermoreflectance Detection of Point Defects Resulting from Focused Ion Beam Milling
Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is a common tool for nanoscale material processing, however irradiation damage, redeposition, and contamination can occur. We use several characterization tools to show FIB‐induced effects beyond 1 mm from the milled area.

Viscoelastic Fracture of Biological Composites
Soft constituent materials endow biological composites, such as bone, dentin and nacre, with viscoelastic properties that may play an important role in their remarkable fracture resistance.
