Fracture toughness of thermoelectric materials [PDF]
Materials Science and Engineering Reports, 2021 Abstract The engineering applications of thermoelectric (TE) devices require TE materials possessing high TE performance and robust mechanical properties. Research on thermal and electrical transport properties of TE materials has made significant progress during the last two decades, developing TE materials on the threshold of commercial ...

Fracture toughness of graphene [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2014 Perfect graphene is believed to be the strongest material. However, the useful strength of large-area graphene with engineering relevance is usually determined by its fracture toughness, rather than the intrinsic strength that governs a uniform breaking of atomic bonds in perfect graphene.

The fracture toughness of eggshell [PDF]
Acta Biomaterialia, 2016 The shells of avian eggs are very brittle, but how brittle? Fracture toughness, Kc is a standard measure used widely to characterise engineering materials. We devised a novel way to measure Kc and applied it to commercial hens' eggs, obtaining a value of 0.3MPa√m. This value is much lower than previous published values, which we argue are incorrect and

Fracture Diodes: Directional Asymmetry of Fracture Toughness [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 Toughness describes the ability of a material to resist fracture or crack propagation. It is demonstrated here that fracture toughness of a material can be asymmetric, i.e., the resistance of a medium to a crack propagating from right to left can be significantly different from that to a crack propagating from left to right.

Modeling the effect of temperature and notch root radius on fracture toughness
Frontiers in Materials, 2022 In this work, a physics-based analytical model without any fitting parameters for fracture toughness depending on temperature was proposed. The quantitative relationship between fracture toughness, melting point, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and ...
