Mixed-mode fracture of notched AW 2099-T83 Al-Li Alloy: Effects of inclination angle and stress triaxiality

open access: yesResults in Engineering
Third-generation aluminum-lithium alloys such as AW 2099-T83 offer attractive properties for aerospace applications, including low density, high stiffness, and excellent fracture toughness.

Chalker scaling, level repulsion, and conformal invariance in critically delocalized quantum matter: Disordered topological superconductors and artificial graphene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We numerically investigate critically delocalized wavefunctions in models of 2D Dirac fermions, subject to vector potential disorder. These describe the surface states of 3D topological superconductors, and can also be realized through long-range ...

On the application of the Theory of Critical Distances for prediction of fracture in fibre composites

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2009
This paper is concerned with the fracture of composite materials containing stress concentration features such as notches and holes. In particular, it addresses the question of the use of the Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) – a method which is widely ...

Comparison of local fatigue assessment methods for high-quality butt-welded joints made of high-strength steel

open access: yesForces in Mechanics, 2022
Fatigue strength of welded joints is typically independent of the parent material static strength; however, there are two exceptions from this rule—post-weld treated joints and high-quality joints.

Duality of singularities of multiscale damage localization and crack advance: length variety in Theory of Critical Distances

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2019
The existence of two singularities related to the stress field at the crack tip and blow-up kinetics of damage localization is considered as the physical basis for the interpretation of the Theory of Critical Distances.

Environmentally Assisted Cracking Behavior of S420 and X80 Steels Containing U-notches at Two Different Cathodic Polarization Levels: An Approach from the Theory of Critical Distances

open access: yesMetals, 2019
This paper analyzes, using the theory of critical distances, the environmentally assisted cracking behavior of two steels (S420 and API X80) subjected to two different aggressive environments.

Gauge Boson Masses in the 3-d, SU(2) Gauge-Higgs Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We study gauge boson propagators in the symmetric and symmetry broken phases of the 3-d, $SU(2)$ gauge-Higgs model. Correlation functions for the gauge fields are calculated in Landau gauge.

Geometric Aspects of Confining Strings

open access: yes, 1998
Confining strings in 4D are effective, thick strings describing the confinement phase of compact U(1) and, possibly, also non-Abelian gauge fields. We show that these strings are dual to the gauge fields, inasmuch as their perturbative regime corresponds

Contextualism in Normative Political Theory and the Problem of Critical Distance [PDF]

open access: yesEthical Theory and Moral Practice, 2019
Political theory is contextualist when factual claims about context are part of the justification of normative political judgments. There are different kinds of contextualism depending on whether context is relevant for the formulation and justification of political principles (methodological contextualism), whether principles themselves are ...
