The equations of balance of momentum and energy usually are formulated under the
assumption of conservation of mass. However, mass is not conserved when sources of mass …

There are more than 200 different methods for measuring adhesion, suggesting it to be
material, geometry and even industry specific. This availability has exploded at least partly …

We examine the relative stability and adhesion of the polar Al (111)/WC (0001) interface
using density functional theory. Relaxed atomic geometries and the ideal work of adhesion …

Cyclic fatigue, ie, delayed failure under cyclically varying loads, is the most pervasive, yet
least understood, form of fracture, accounting for 80% or more of all" in-service" failures. It is …

This article reviews the present state of research on metal–zirconia interfaces. Interfaces
play a crucial role in establishing the macroscopic properties and performance of zirconia …

For the realization of flexible electronic devices, the metal–polymer interfaces upon which
they are based need to be optimized. These interfaces are prone to fracture in such systems …

Over the past few years, many researchers have been excited with the advent of two-
dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene and molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) because …

We have performed density functional calculations to investigate the adhesion and
electronic structure at interfaces between Al and the refractory transition metal …

Continuous developments into the understanding of hydrogen/deformation interactions have
been facilitated by experimental advances and improved computational capabilities …

▪ Abstract Interfacial adhesion plays a central role in a number of technologically important
applications. Quantitatively measuring the adhesion of an interface and understanding the …
