cleavage

I hope some of you will find this work interesting. We present a new Weibull framework for cleavage fracture that incorporates strain gradient plasticity and can estimate the three parameters of Weibull-type models without any prior assumptions. A post-print is available at www.empaneda.com

The discovery of a new material type, graphene and extremely thin platelets of graphite, was discussed in several articles from my research group published in 1999:
