In this paper, we describe recent advances and developments for the measurement of
fracture toughness at small scales by the use of nanoindentation-based methods including …

We review the recent literature on the simulation of the structure and deformation of
amorphous solids, including oxide and metallic glasses. We consider simulations at different …

In this study, several three-point-bending (TPB) experiments were conducted to investigate
the influence of fiber content on the fracture behavior of hooked-end steel fiber-reinforced …

Under complex environments such as continuous or cyclic loads, the stiffness degradation
for the laminated composites such as the carbon fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites …

An image-based deep learning framework is developed to predict nonlinear stress
distribution and failure pattern in microstructural representations of composite materials in …

A numerical model for accurately predicting the delamination propagation in multidirectional
laminates under mode I and mixed-mode I/II loadings using the cohesive element is …

A fundamental understanding of the fatigue and fracture behavior of bulk metallic glasses
(BMGs) and their composites is of critical significance for designing new BMG systems and …

The fracture toughness of thin ceramic films is an important material property that plays a
role in determining the in-service mechanical performance and adhesion of this important …

The fundamental property which often dictates the performance of a coating is its adhesion
to the substrate and thus there are many techniques to measure adhesion. The choice of …

Cracks in brittle solids induced by pyramidal indenters are ideal for toughness evaluation
since the indentation stress fields decay rapidly from the contact center and any cracks will …
