Fracture arrest in layered rock sequences is important in many geodynamic processes, such as dyke-fed volcanic eruptions, earthquake ruptures, landslides, and the evolution of plate boundaries. Yet it remains poorly ...

The Split-out phenomenon is a sudden instability, which takes place near the crack tip, and is generated by a rapid growth and arrest of a crack at the divider orientation. This phenomenon is related to stress triaxiality ...

Interlaminar fracture process in woven composite laminate in general takes place in a nonlinear front propagation when analyzing a 2-D propagation for mode I opening. The nonlinearity is justified by the arresting crack ...

© 2018 The Authors.The development of robust protocols for assessing the structural integrity of gas pipelines is of paramount relevance, since failures can lead to financial and human losses. In this scenario, the material's ...

Puberty in chronic conditions may be severely delayed or arrested, with resultant poor linear growth, potential truncation of final height, and reduced peak bone mass, thus significantly increasing osteoporosis risk ...

The lack of clarity regarding slip distribution within heterogeneous rupture areas has a significant impact on characterizing the seismic source and the role of heterogeneities in determining ground motion. One approach ...

Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) was introduced as ceramic implant abutments due to its excellent mechanical properties. However, the damage patterns for Y-TZP abutments are limited in the literature. Fractographic ...
