Covalently‐Bonded Diaphite Nanoplatelet with Engineered Electronic Properties of Diamond
A novel approach to engineering the electronic properties of diamond is reported on the diaphite nanoplatelet consisting of (11¯${{\bar{1}}}$1) planes of diamond nanoplatelet covalently bonded with graphite (0001) planes. The strong sp3/sp2‐hybridized interfacial covalent bonding induces the electron transfer from diamond to graphite, resulting in a ...

Influence of boron content on the fracture toughness and fatigue crack propagation kinetics of bainitic steels [PDF]
The relatively good combination of high strength and ductility makes bainitic steels a candidate to replace many other steels in industrial applications. However, in service, ductility and strength are not up to standard requirements.

Influence of different sizes of concrete and roller compacted concrete on double-K fracture parameters [PDF]
Affected by physical properties of various components, characteristics and stress states of junction surface and other multiple factors, concrete, as a kind of multi-phase composite material, has complicated failure mechanism, thus making its fracture ...

Enhanced fracture toughness in ceramic superlattice thin films: on the role of coherency stresses and misfit dislocations [PDF]
Superlattice (SL) thin films composed of refractory ceramics unite extremely high hardness and enhanced fracture toughness; a material combination often being mutually exclusive. While the hardness enhancement obtained whentwo materials form a superlattice is well described by existing models based on dislocation mobility, the underlying mechanisms ...

Notes on Propagation of 3D Buoyant Fluid-Driven Cracks [PDF]
Magma-driven fractures are the main mechanism for magma emplacement in the crust. A fundamental question is how the released fluid controls the propagation dynamics and fracture geometry (depth and breadth) in three dimensions. Analog experiments in gelatin have shown that fracture breadth remains nearly stationary when the process in the fracture head

Bioresorbable and Wireless Rechargeable Implanted Na‐ion Battery for Temporary Medical Devices
An all‐solid‐state bioresorbable Na‐ion battery is developed, composed entirely of bio‐eliminable materials. In vivo and ex vivo tests confirmed harmless disintegration of this implanted battery. Lifetime of the implanted battery can be precisely controlled by adjusting the dissolvable encapsulation layer's thickness.

Porous LSCF/Dense 3YSZ Interface Fracture Toughness Measured by Single Cantilever Beam Wedge Test
Sandwich specimens were prepared by firing a thin inter-layer of porous La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-d (LSCF) to bond a thin tetragonal yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ) beam to a thick YSZ substrate.

The electroplating of a CrCoNi medium‐entropy alloy is achieved using a mixture of an ionic liquid and an aqueous solution containing metal salts. The CrCoNi medium‐entropy alloy thin film exhibits high wear and corrosion resistance superior to conventional hard chromium coatings. Abstract High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) and medium‐entropy alloys (MEAs) are

Size effect of fracture characteristics for anisotropic quasi-brittle geomaterials
Understanding the size effect exhibited by the fracture mechanism of anisotropic geomaterials is important for engineering practice. In this study, the anisotropic features of the nominal strength, apparent fracture toughness, effective fracture energy ...

Intrinsic-to-extrinsic transition in fracture toughness through structural design: A lesson from nature [PDF]
Catastrophic failure of materials and structures due to unstable crack growth could be prevented if facture toughness could be enhanced at will through structural design, but how can this be possible if fracture toughness is a material constant related to energy dissipation in the vicinity of a propagating crack tip.
