We propose a versatile approach to computing the effective toughness of heterogeneous
media. This approach focusses on the material property independent of the details of the …

A technique for modelling of arbitrary three‐dimensional dynamically propagating cracks in
elastic bodies by the Element‐Free Galerkin (EFG) method with explicit time integration is …

The effects of particle size and volume fraction on the mode I fracture toughness of epoxy
composites filled with spherical silica particles were investigated through experiments and …

Although concrete sustainability can be remarkably improved by replacing high amounts of
Portland cement clinker with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), this approach is …

The fracture mechanisms in Nb-based intermetallic in-situ composites are reviewed to
assess the influence of alloy composition on fracture resistance. The beneficial effect of Ti …

Utilizing 1D and 2D carbon nanomaterials to develop resilient and strong multifunctional
composites has been a common theme in the field of nanomaterials in the past two decades …
