Are m and C in the paris law equation dependant on the material property or geometry?
For example if using the same material with different thickness, do the C and m values change? For clarity assume centre notched plates, with different plate thicknesses but same material (steel or aluminium).
I appreciate your time.

In spite of worldwide research, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) still have not fully realized their
original promise as ideal reinforcements for composite materials due to a number of
challenging issues such as weak interface, poor dispersion, misalignment and lack of optimized
design. Here we propose a bio-inspired structure of CNT bundles with controllable
crosslink density and staggered pattern of organization that mimic the architecture of
Biological materials in nature serve as a valuable source of inspiration for developing
novel synthetic materials with extraordinary properties or functions. Much effort to date
has been directed toward fabricating and understanding bio-inspired nanocomposites
with internal architectures mimicking those of nacre and collagen fibril. Here we establish
simple and explicit analytical solutions for both upper and lower bounds of the elastic

One can now run GEBT (Geometrically Exact Beam Theory), a general-purpose nonlinear composite beam solver, online within a web browser through cdmHUB.org. Users do not have to install the code on their own machine. And users can access to immediate support if run into any questions. You are welcome to try out the code and let me know any of your questions.
I apply force using one slider to another slider. Best part is one slider move little bit and help second slider to slide 6 times length at 70 % force.
Energy Used to move first slider=force*distance
=100N*0.05m
=5Nm
Energy Get on Other Slider= Force*Distance
=Force applied by first slider*cos(45`)*distance
=100*0.7*0.25
=17.5
We get 3 times energy on second slider than we use to move first slider.
Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) invites applications for a postdoctoral position from motivated individuals interested in modeling and simulation research in Nonlinear Dynamics (supervised by Profs. Pratyush Dayal and Gaurav Srivastava). These applications are sought under Post-Doctoral Fellowships Program of IITGN. The candidate will be required to develop a fully functional suite of computational tools to perform multiphysics modeling and simulation studies on soft materials.
A lot work has been done/published in the area of in-situ mechanical testing using electron microscopy. Please list which, according to what you feel has had a significant impact. Here are two in my opinion:
