Size effects are particular types of scale effect, where the response of a material is
dependent to some extent on its size. These types of behaviour manifest to a greater or …

A new scaling theory called finite similitude has appeared in the open literature for the
scaling of physical systems. The theory is founded on the metaphysical concept of space …

A cohesive zone model is a phenomenological model of the fracture process, which
straddles empiricism and material science and as such provides a pragmatic choice for …

A new approach to scaled experimentation has appeared in the open literature bringing into
existence a countably infinite number of similitude rules connecting multiple scaled …

A calculus for scaled experimentation has recently appeared in the open literature founded
on the continuous (metaphysical) concept of space scaling. The new theory for isotropic …

The theory of scaling called finite similitude does not involve dimensional analysis and is
founded on a transport-equation approach that is applicable to all of classical physics. It …

A geometric size effect is evident in fatigue loading with a scaled cracked component of the
same material appearing stronger in the sense of increased fatigue resistance. The number …

Fluid dynamics experimentation at scale provides an important means of investigation that is
presently underpinned by dimensional analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) …

A recent arrival in the open literature is the scaling theory finite similitude bringing into
existence a countably infinite number of new similitude rules. The application of the theory to …

In fatigue testing the number of cycles and crack length to failure are recognised to be
stochastic quantities necessitating repetitive testing to draw out statistically meaningful …
