The goal of this paper is to predict how the properties of the constituent phases and microstructure of dual phase steels (consisting of ferrite and martensite) influence their fracture resistance. We focus on two commercial low-carbon dual-phase …
We conducted in situ microtension experiments in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to study the orientation-dependent mechanical behavior of nanolaminated graphene-Al composite. We found a transition from a weak-and-brittle behavior in the …
Despite major advances made in modeling vascular tissue biomechanics, the predictive power of constitutive models is still limited by uncertainty of the input data. Specifically, key measurements, like the geometry of the stress-free (SF) state, …
This paper investigates the thermo-mechanical response and failure behaviour of near $β$ Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-1Cr-1Fe (Ti-55511) and near $α$ Ti3Al2.5 V alloy under high strain rate loading. A series of dynamic compression and shear compression tests have …
Adiabatic shear banding (ASB) is a unique dynamic failure mechanism that results in an unpredicted catastrophic failure due to a concentrated shear deformation mode. It is universally considered as a material or structural instability and as such, …
