Solid-state batteries with lithium metal anodes have the potential for higher energy density,
longer lifetime, wider operating temperature, and increased safety. Although the bulk of the …

Prior to any practical application, brittle material components may need to be machined to a
high degree of precision in order to avoid functional breakdown as well as to maintain …

The application of indentation techniques to the evaluation of fracture toughness is
examined critically, in two parts. In this first part, attention is focused on an approach which …

A theory for describing the evolution of the median/radial crack system in the far field of
sharp‐indenter contacts is developed. Analysis is based on a model in which the complex …

A review of the observations of indentation‐induced fracture suggests that there is no simple
generalization which may be made concerning crack initiation sequences. Here, we …

Indentation, owing to its ability to induce permanent deformation in a controlled manner
even in highly brittle materials that are otherwise not amenable to critical mechanical testing …

Borosilicate glasses display a rich complexity of chemical behavior depending on the details
of their composition and thermal history. Noted for their high chemical durability and thermal …

Glass is the oldest man-made material. Its invention about five thousand years ago should
be considered as one of the crucial events in the history of mankind. Glass has given man …

Glass is a material with essentially unlimited application possibilities. This second edition of
a comprehensive reference in glass science, points out the correlation between the …

Hard and brittle solids with covalent/ionic bonding are used in a wide range of modern‐day
manufacturing technologies. Optimization of a sha** process can shorten manufacturing …
