Being good structural replacement for other conventional material, the pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles are being increasingly used in civil engineering structures. The connection between components is considered the most suspect ar ...

The fracture properties and microdeformation behaviour and their correlation with structure in commercial bulk polyolefins are reviewed. Emphasis is on crack-tip deformation mechanisms and on regimes of direct practical interest, namely slow crack growth i ...

The study presented in this thesis aims to numerically explore the micro-mechanisms underlying rock fracture and fragmentation under dynamic loading. The approach adopted is based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM) coupled to the Cohesive Process Zone (C ...

The concept of fracture for material elements at front of a crack for fatigue crack propagation was extended to the fatigue crack propagation of a cracked metallic member reinforced with a composite patch in this paper. From static mechanics and linear ela ...

Friction welding is a joining technique for wood materials. The positive aspects of this technique are the speed of processing and the absence of chemical or mechanical agents, but the welded joints are not water resistant. To understand better the effect ...

The fracture toughness of thin metal films confined between elastic layers, a geometry prevalent in electronic packaging applications, is found to depend strongly on the metal film thickness and on residual stress. Here, a two-dimensional discrete dislocat ...

The SELFRAC project aimed to study the fractures within the Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) around galleries in the Boom clay and Opalinus clay formations and their possible sealing/healing with time. Tests carried out at LMR-EPFL aimed at quantifying on the ...

This work contributes to the fundamental understanding of fracture properties of Particle Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites (PRMMCs), by identifying the key microstructural parameters that control fracture. To this end, PRMMCs with a high volume fraction ...

In this work we have studied brittle fracture in high-chromium reduced activation tempered martensitic steels foreseen as structural materials for thermonuclear fusion reactors. Developing the adequate materials that can withstand the severe irradiation co ...
We present a new meshless animation framework for elastic and plastic materials that fracture. Central to our method is a highly dynamic surface and volume sampling method that supports arbitrary crack initiation, propagation, and termination, while avoidi ...
