First-stage blades of gas turbines are elements positioned after the combustion chamber
and are responsible for extracting energy from high temperature and high pressure gas. One …

Dynamic crack growth in high-stiffness and ultralow-toughness amorphous materials such
as soda-lime glass (SLG) often involves seemingly unprovoked crack branching events …

In Part I, we established a model for amorphization during the failure of quasi-brittle
materials. In this Part II, we present a multi-mechanism physics-based constitutive model …

This paper studies the use of the Embedded Finite Element Method (E-FEM) for the
numerical modelling of triaxial fracture processes in non-homogeneous quasi-brittle …

In order to master the tearing properties of Kapton membrane, the main material of the
inflatable antenna reflector, research on the tearing property of Kapton membrane has been …

Soda-lime glass (SLG) is a widely used structural material with numerous advantages in
terms of thermal, physical, and mechanical properties besides sustainability and …
