IMECE 2014 (ASME Congress) Symposium on Failure Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures
Why should we investigate fracture and failure mechanics? From this Boeing 737 accident (below) to recent fatigue cracks of new Airbus A380, we must use failure mechanics knowledge to save our lives. Therefore, Dr.H. Eliot Fang (Program Manager at the DOE Sandia National Labs), Dr. Larry
C. Russell (program manager at the Army Research Office) and I would invite you to submit abstracts to our symposium

Size effects on elasticity, yielding, and fracture of silver nanowires
This paper reports the quantitative measurement of a full spectrum of mechanical properties of fivefold twinned silver (Ag) nanowires (NWs), including Young’s modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength. In-situ tensile testing of Ag NWs with diameters between 34 and 130 nm was carried out inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Young’s modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength all increased as the NW diameter decreased.
Buckling of Aligned Carbon Nanotubes as Stretchable Conductors: A New Manufacturing Strategy
We systematically investigated the interesting electric response of the aligned CNT ribbons under mechanical strain. We found that CNTs slide on a PDMS substrate under tension, but buckle under compression (releasing). Such an irreversible mechanical deformation is responsible for the observed irreversibility in the electric resistance upon the first stretching/releasing.
