Discussion of fracture paper #35 - What is Finite Fracture Mechanics?

Submitted by ESIS on

The subject of this blog is a well-written and technically detailed study of thermal crack initiation where an adhesive joint between two dissimilar materials meets a free surface. The method that is used goes under the group designation finite fracture mechanics. The paper is:

"Predicting thermally induced edge-crack initiation using finite fracture mechanics" by S. Dölling, S. Bremm, A. Kohlstetter, J. Felger, and W. Becker. in Engineering Fracture Mechanics 252 (2021) 107808.

Dr. Lei Wang’s research group at the University of Cincinnati (UC) is seeking two high-motivated and talented PhD students to be appointed as Graduate Assistants to conduct geotechnical engineering research in the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and Construction Management, beginning January 2023 or August 2023. 

 

Mechanical couplings of 2D lattices uncovered by decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor and symmetry operation

Submitted by Joshua on

We introduce a generalized methodology to uncover all mechanical couplings in 2D lattice geometries by obtaining the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor. We also correlate the mechanical couplings with the point groups of 2D lattices by applying the symmetry operation to the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor. The decoupled micropolar constitutive equation reveals eight mechanical coupling effects in planar solids, four of which are discovered for the first time in the mechanics' community.
