A parametric study of fracture toughness of fibrous composite materials [PDF]

open access: yes
Impacts to fibrous composite laminates by objects with low velocities can break fibers giving crack-like damage. The damage may not extend completely through a thick laminate.

Toughening β‐Ga2O3 via Mechanically Seeded Dislocations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
β‐Ga2O3 is promising for next‐generation semiconductors but its brittleness limits flexible and high‐precision applications. Here, mechanically seeded dislocations introduced by surface deformation improved damage tolerance in (001) β‐Ga2O3. Nanoindentation and characterization show dislocations suppress cleavage cracks by enabling stable plastic ...

Effects of Silicon on Mechanical Properties and Fracture Toughness of Heavy-Section Ductile Cast Iron

open access: yesMetals, 2015
The effects of silicon (Si) on the mechanical properties and fracture toughness of heavy-section ductile cast iron were investigated to develop material for spent-nuclear-fuel containers. Two castings with different Si contents of 1.78 wt.% and 2.74 wt.%

The relationships between tensile strength, mode I and mode II fracture toughness of rock: An empirical and microcracking perspective

open access: yesHeliyon
The empirical relationships between tensile strength, mode I and mode II fracture toughness obtained by previous studies have the problem of a small amount of data for fitting, and more data are needed for further study.

Dual‐Percolative Planar‐Heterojunction Photoactive System for High‐Performance Stretchable Organic Photovoltaics Enhancing Power Output under Strain

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐percolative planar‐heterojunction photoactive architecture enables intrinsically stretchable organic photovoltaics that combine high photovoltaic efficiency with enhanced mechanical robustness. Abstract Intrinsically stretchable organic solar cells (IS‐OSCs) are promising candidates for wearable power sources due to their ability to deform in ...
