Fracture criteria play a very important role in predicting crack propagation behavior and life
evaluation of cracked bodies. In this paper, mixed mode I-II fracture criteria in the framework …

Abstract Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), also known as material extrusion, is currently
one of the most popular Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology on the market. In this study …

Understanding the inconsistent rock fracture toughness (K Ic) measurement results from
different test specimen geometries helps provide suitable fracture parameters for …

Evaluating the fracture resistance of rocks is essential for predicting and preventing
catastrophic failure of cracked structures in rock engineering. This investigation developed a …

A number of fracture criteria are available for predicting the cracking behavior under
combined contribution of opening-tearing damage mechanism (ie mixed-mode I/III). But …

The current research demonstrates the application of artificial neural network (ANN) in
predicting the fracture under mixed-mode I/II loadings. To this end, based on the analysis of …

In this study, a new test configuration was used to investigate the full range of mixed-mode
I/II fracture behavior of asphalt mixtures using a Short Beam Bending (SBB) specimen with a …

Basalt fiber could effectively improve the crack resistance of asphalt mixture. However, most
cracks in asphalt pavement present complex fracture characteristics. Effect of basalt fiber on …

Every year, millions of tons of industrial waste and household waste, including plastic waste,
cause damage to the environment through landfilling, incineration, or dum** in open …

Interpenetrating phase composites (IPC) materials are designed to combine the advantages
of made-from materials or develop an intended behavior. Recently, the use of 3D printed …
