Phase field predictions of microscopic fracture and R-curve behaviour of fibre-reinforced composites
Dear iMechanicians,
I hope that the following work is of interest to you. We combine the phase field method with cohesive zone modelling to predict the fracture behaviour of fibre-reinforced composites across scales.

Enhancement of hydroxyapatite dissolution through structure modification by Krypton ion irradiation
Heavy ion irradiation can be used to modify the atomic structure of a material and improve its dissolution characteristics as shown here. This has implication for the design of bioceramics
Compressive performance and crack propagation in Al alloy/Ti2AlC composites
The morphology of MAX phase composites is examined here. Specifically, crack branching is examined in Al - Ti2AlC composites showing the role of MAX phase distribution on the fracture performance of such materials. Ductile alloy phases serve to deflect cracks in the hard, yet tough, MAX phase.
