A critical overview of past research on the interaction integral (I-integral) method is
presented. The I-integral is the two-state mutual energy release rate decided by a …

This paper reviews the historical investigation and state-of-the-art developments of the M-
integral and corresponding applications, from five key perspectives. Firstly, the origin of the …

A new type of periodic cellular metal called wire-woven bulk Kagome (WBK) is devised. For
fabricating the WBK truss core, continuous helical wires are systematically assembled in six …

The detailed deformation and plastic collapse mechanisms of closed-cell Al foams under
uniaxial compressive loading, which govern the energy absorption capacity of the foam …

The quantitative characterization of crack tip loads is fundamental in fracture mechanics.
Although the potential influence of higher order terms on crack growth and stability is known …

The mechanical properties of the cell wall, such as the elastic modulus, 0.2% offset yield
stress and power-law hardening exponent of the closed-cell Al foam are determined using …

The description of mechanical fields at the vicinity of a bi-dimensional crack-tip can be
performed using the classic Williams series expansion. While its general structure is well …

В книге, посвященной динамично развивающемуся направлению современной
механики деформируемого твердого тела–механике трещин, приводятся новые …

Extensive improvements of the interface element method (IEM) are proposed for the efficient
treatment of non-matching finite element meshes. Our approach enables us to establish the …

In this Note eigenspectra and orders of singularity of the stress field near a mode I crack tip
in a power-law material are discussed. The perturbation theory technique is employed to …
