Researchers have developed a simplified mathematical model (step-loading model, SLM) that unifies two earlier mechanisms to describe the velocity jump in crack propagation. Through SLM, they ...

This is air layering propagation at work, where the mature tree or plant is cloned from a stem that is still attached to it.

Net, a deep learning framework that efficiently predicts crack propagation and stress–strain curves in particulate ...

“Wave propagation ” is the method by which waves of water, sound, light, or other things move; “crack propagation ” is the movement of the front or tip of a crack through a material. The federal ...

Crack Propagation De-bonding at the fiber matrix interface, fiber and matrix fracture, and fiber pullout are involved in the propagation of cracks in composite lamellae. The diagram illustrates these ...

Crack propagation is asymmetric in polar materials (Nanowerk News) Fracture physics is a central field of study in materials science. In the case of piezoelectric materials, due to their ability to ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign believe they can pinpoint the location and direction of a critical crack in a structure with a single analysis.

For some time, scientists who focus on Antarctica have been watching the progression of a large crack in one of the world’s great ice shelves — Larsen C, the most northern major ice shelf of ...

A new study performed has analyzed large-scale and high-quality III-nitride membranes via microcavity-assisted crack propagation by engineering tensile-stressed Ni layers.
