Spontaneous Crack Propagation In Functionally Graded Materials
(2009-10-28)
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are composites that have continuously varying material properties, which eliminate undesirable stress concentrations that might otherwise occur in layered composites. The concept of ...
Fracture Of Plain Concrete Beams Via Fractals
(2009-09-02)
The quantitative description of rough fracture surfaces of concrete has been an important challenge for many years. Looking at the fracture surface of a concrete specimen, one realizes that the self-affine geometry of crack ...
Superplastic Deformation Behaviour Of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy
(2009-05-29)
Superplastic deformation behaviour of AZ31 magnesium alloy having initial grain sizes 8, 11 and 17μm alloy was investigated at 673 K with initial strain rates ranging from 1x10-2 to 1x10-4 s-1. Mechanical data on fine ...
