Commercial Tools on Digital Photoelasticity Developed in an Academic Environment

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention as well as share an excellent standing-out example of an outcome of decades of focused academic research as commercial software which finds usage in several industries such as biomedical, electrical, aerospace, civil, mechanical, manufacturing, biological, and agriculture.

Dependence of fracture energy of ceramic on loading condition?

Literature suggests that the fracture strength of the ceramic tends to be higher in a dynamic loading condition than in static condition. This relates to the increase in the fracture energy in dynamic processes. Literature refers to an inelastic response prior to failure (Hugoniot elastic limit) the reason behind increased strength. Can anyone explain the phenomenon in a more lucid way, or guide me to an appropriate reference to understand this?
