[Call for Abstracts] 2021 APS March Meeting (virtual, March 15-19) 02.01.15 Physics of Bio-Inspired Materials (Due: October 23, 2020)
Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a focus session on "02.01.15 Physics of Bio-Inspired Materials (DSOFT, DBIO, DPOLY) [same as 04.01.42, 01.01.54]" for the 2021 American Physical Society Meeting (March 15-19), which will be an online meeting. This session covers most of the classical and emerging research topics of bio-inspired materials.

Discussion of fracture paper #9 - Crack tip modelling
Dear Reader,
I recently took over as the ESIS blog editor. Being the second in this baton relay, I will do my best to live up to the good reader expectations that have been established by my precursor, who is also one of the instigators of the blog, Wolfgang Brocks.
Journal Club Theme of March 2013: Interfacial Adhesion of Graphene - Measurements and Analysis
Several recent papers have reported measurements of adhesion energy between graphene and other materials (e.g., Si/SiOx and copper) [1-3]. Like thin films, many experimental methods may be adopted to measure the interfacial properties of graphene, such as the pressurized blister test [2] and the double-cantilever beam test [3]. The challenges lie in the handling of atomically thin membranes and analysis/interpretation of the data.

Contact deformation can cause local damage of mechanical structures and lead to structural failure
of mechanical devices. In this work, we use the finite element method to analyze the indentation-
induced delamination of a film-substrate structure and the critical tensile stress as the criterion to
determine local delamination on the interface between the film and the substrate. The simulation
