Fracture of materials has been classified into two types: brittle and ductile fracture. Brittle fracture takes place just after a Hookean regime. Ductile fracture, on the other hand, accompanies a ...

In this course, students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the fracture of soft materials and experimental approaches to measure the fracture properties of soft materials.

Professor K R W Wallin is a recognised expert in the field of fracture mechanics. Indeed his work has provided a major input to the currently accepted ASTM Standard on the Master Curve Method , E1921.

(Nanowerk News) For the first time, researchers have been able to observe the way ceramic materials fracture on the atomic scale. They confirm that the arrangement of molecules between grains within a ...

A graph of the scaling relationship between fluid flow and fracture stiffness is shown. The shape of the symbol indicates the fracture length scale from 0.0625 meter (circles) to 1 meter (triangle) ...

Branched cracks in a single crystal of 2D hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). (Courtesy: J Lou/Rice University) Fracture tests carried out on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) show that this 2D material has ...

Scientists have completed one of the most detailed simulations to date of how materials break, according to two new studies. The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of ...
