fatigue crack growth
Having glanced at the web site I can see that it might be useful to shed some light on fatigue crack growth and crack closure based concepts.

The effects of boron dopings and boron grafts on the mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes
The effects of boron doping and boron grafts on the mechanical behaviour of armchair (6, 6)
and zigzag (10, 0) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under axial loading are
investigated using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. The results show that
Young’s moduli, the tension strength, the buckling loads and the buckling strains of SWCNTs
decrease after functionalization. The influences of the distribution density of functionalization
on Young’s moduli of SWCNTs are also systematically studied. The results show that Young’s

Embryonic stem cell softness dictates stress-induced spreading and differentiation
We recently find that embryonic stem cells are very sensitive to a local cyclic stress applied to the focal adhesion. They spread and differentiate (Oct3/4 downregulation) in response to this local force.
Relation between particle size and debonding stress

Hi everybody,
do you know where I can find some informations about the relation
between particle size and critical normal stress at the interface particle /matrix
for a particle embedded in a matrix?
I read the Chen's article 'Size effect of particles on the damage dissipation in nanocomposites'
but this article deals with spherical particles. I am studying clay/matrix nanocomposites and I would like to
calculate the relation between clay size and debonding stress.
Thanks,
Cecilia

How many iMechanica users are on Twitter? And how many are on Twitter with professional contacts?
I started to use Twitter about 4 months ago in a completely social, non-professional context. As a personal (expat-focussed) blogger, I started to notice that I was
catching blog posts in my Twitter feed before I would see them in my
feed aggregator (Bloglines). Twitter has emerged as a different sort
of feed aggregator, as well as a provider of information.
