Tri‐post insulators in gas‐insulated transmission line (GIL) are usually fabricated with high
mass fraction of micron aluminum oxide (Al2O3), which will unavoidably settle under the …

In this study, a nonlocal multiscale damage model that considers the effect of a strain rate is
presented. Moreover, this model is combined with the scaled boundary finite element …

For icebreakers to navigate polar routes, the ability to break through ice sheet is extremely
important. To quantify this, technology that can estimate the mechanical behaviors of ice and …

The heterogeneity of natural rock affects its fracture behaviour resulting in a variation of rock
strength. To investigate the sensitivity of damage response and failure strength across rock …

Meniscal tears are a common, painful, and debilitating knee injury with limited treatment
options. Computational models that predict meniscal tears may help advance injury …

Thanks to the emergence of new technologies developed with the goal of performing large-
scale galvanometric induced polarization surveys and thanks a better understanding of the …

In this work, a thermodynamically consistent three-dimensional (3D) small strain-based
theory to describe the deformation and fracture in quasi-brittle and brittle elastic solids is …

We propose a skeletal muscle-inspired hierarchical structure for the alumina ceramic layer
in ceramic composite armour structures to achieve greater energy dissipation under impact …

In this article we explore the change in elastic symmetry and anisotropy of two geological
materials with stress-induced damage. Two independent uniaxial deformation experiments …

We present an inversion algorithm tailored for point gravity data. As the data are from
multiple surveys, it is inconsistent with regards to spacing and accuracy. An algorithm design …
