Three-dimensional effects on cracked discs and plates under nominal Mode III loading

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2015
The existence of three-dimensional effects at cracks has been known for many years, but understanding has been limited, and for some situations still is.

Structure‐Guided Dynamical Mechanics in Bioinspired Double Twisted Laminated Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work explores a dynamic mechanistic study of crack propagation and puncture testing via real‐time monitoring of crack initiation, propagation, and termination through nature‐inspired single and double twisted architectures fabricated from cellulose nanocrystals.

Meshless methods: theory and application in 3D fracture modelling with level sets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Accurate analysis of fracture is of vital importance yet methods for effetive 3D calculations are currently unsatisfactory. In this thesis, novel numerical techniques are developed which solve many of these problems. This thesis consists two major parts:

Fracture mechanics characterises fibre entanglement

open access: yesCommunications Materials
Entanglement in fibrous materials strongly affects their mechanical performance, yet quantitative experimental characterisation of entanglement has proved elusive. The widely used hook-drop test is known to be inadequate to evaluate entanglement.

Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...
