Mechanical Properties of Frozen Glacial Tills due to Short Periods of Thawing

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Due to the warming climate, glacier retreat has left massive glacial tills in steep gullies; ice in the soil is prone to change phase resulting in the decrease of the ice strength and bonding of soil particles; collapse of thawing tills can lead to ...

Fracture of granular materials composed of arbitrary grain shapes: A new cohesive interaction model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Discrete Element Methods (DEM) are a useful tool to model the fracture of cohesive granular materials. For this kind of application, simple particle shapes (discs in 2D, spheres in 3D) are usually employed.

Numerical comparison between Hashin and Chang-Chang failure criteria in terms of inter-laminar damage behavior of laminated composite

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2021
In this paper, a general three-dimensional finite element model composed of eight-node three-dimension cohesive elements and eight-node solid elements with reduced integration for low-velocity impact analysis of composite materials is established ...

Plane problem of discrete environment mechanics

open access: yesПроблеми трибології, 2022
Many engineering problems related to the design of structures and machines, the mathematical description of technological processes, etc., are reduced to the need to solve a plane problem for materials with a significant effect of internal friction on ...

Contact mechanics for randomly rough surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
When two solids are squeezed together they will in general not make atomic contact everywhere within the nominal (or apparent) contact area. This fact has huge practical implications and must be considered in many technological applications.

Recent Milestones in Unraveling the Full-Field Structure of Dynamic Shear Cracks and Fault Ruptures in Real-Time: From Photoelasticity to Ultrahigh-Speed Digital Image Correlation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The last few decades have seen great achievements in dynamic fracture mechanics. Yet, it was not possible to experimentally quantify the full-field behavior of dynamic fractures, until very recently.

Numerical modeling of friction stir welding using the tools with polygonal pins

open access: yesDefence Technology, 2015
Friction stir welding using the tools with polygonal pins is often found to improve the mechanical strength of weld joint in comparison to the tools with circular pins. However, the impacts of pin profile on the peak temperature, tool torque and traverse
