Silicon carbide (SiC)-based nuclear fission fuel rod cladding has been considered as one of
the possible designs for accident tolerant fuels. It is in the form of a SiC fibre reinforced SiC …

In this study, we report a heterogeneously stacked MoS 2-Graphene Oxide (GO) membrane
that demonstrates enhanced resistance to restacking and swelling compared to …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) improve the fracture toughness of polymer-based matrix
composites by bridging the crack growth path. This research presents a finite element (FE) …

Parametric accelerated life testing (ALT) with the reliability quantitative (RQ) statements is
offered as a reliability methodology to identify and rectify design flaws. The methodology …

Fine-grained nuclear graphite is one of the key structural materials for high temperature gas-
cooled reactors as well as several Generation IV nuclear fission reactor designs. However …

Molecular dynamics method and finite element analysis are applied for the analysis of the
stress field in the neighborhood of the crack tip in a copper plate with a single edge notch …

Numerical simulation is an effective way to study roof strata movement induced by
progressive excavation in longwall mining. However, establishing an effective and plausible …

The problems of reconstruction of the stress field at the crack tips of a system of horizontal
and inclined cracks in a linear isotropic elastic medium using the results of experimental …

Engineering structures and machines fail of different modes of failure. The mechanical
design of engineering structures and machines involves a stress and failure analysis in …

Cracks in rocks can lead to different load responses and mechanical properties. Primary and
secondary cracks are altered during loading, with varying degrees of impact on the failure of …
