Trabecular bone plays an important role in the load-bearing capacity of the femur.
Understanding the structural characteristics, biomechanics, and mechanical conduction of …

This paper comprehensively reviews the various experimental and numerical techniques,
which were considered to determine the fracture characteristics of the cortical bone. This …

This paper presents a comparative study between Hashin damage criterion and the
eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) applied to the failure of fiber reinforced polymers …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to predict the fracture resistance of an
endodontically treated first maxillary molar with diverse access cavities using the extended …

The study investigated short, thin-walled Z-shaped carbon–epoxy laminate columns. Z-
columns were compressed while considering the eccentric force realized from the center of …

The fracture of additively manufactured polymer materials with various layer orientations is
studied using the extended finite element method (XFEM) in an anisotropic cohesive zone …

Bone is a natural composite and its cutting is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery.
The processing damage, cutting force, and cutting heat strongly influence postoperative …

One of the complexities of rock engineering is predicting the fracture, especially in cases
where the rock material exhibits anisotropy in both elastic and fracture properties. In this …

A phase field model for anisotropic, elastoplastic fracture model in layered structures
obtained by 3D printing processes is proposed. An extension of anisotropic phase field to …

A combination of computational and experimental investigation is performed to study
additively manufactured (AM) polymers for enhanced fracture properties. Single edge notch …
