Low‐Velocity Impact Response of Nacre‐Inspired E‐Glass/Epoxy Composites With Varying Platelet Sizes

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 2781-2798, 10 February 2026.
Impact response of nacre‐inspired E‐glass/epoxy composites with different platelet sizes. ABSTRACT This study explores the low‐velocity impact behavior of nacre‐inspired biomimetic platelet composites (NIBPC), using low‐cost E‐glass fiber in chopped strand mat (CSM) form as reinforcement and epoxy resin as the matrix.

A Novel Approach for ∆K Estimation in the Fatigue Threshold Region Based on ΔKth and Kmax,th

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 653-662, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A novel procedure, proposed by Kujawski and Vasudevan 1, has been evaluated as an alternative to the ASTM E647 standard for determining the ∆Kth and Kmax,th thresholds. This method relies solely on the actual propagation of cracks, which occurs only when both thresholds are satisfied simultaneously. For long cracks, a more efficient estimation
