In glass and façade constructions, elastic thick layer bonds are used to join glass panes to
metal adapter frames and glass support elements. This joining technique is referred to as …

Abstract'Big data'and the use of'Artificial Intelligence'(AI) is currently advancing due to the
increasing and even cheaper data collection and processing capabilities. Social and …

Soft materials have attracted widespread attention and brought a wave of novel potential
applications. Accurate mechanical characterization is crucial for improving the ration design …

The unique stress wave mitigation capacity of meta-materials and meta-structures has been
extensively investigated by many analytical studies but there has been very limited …

An improved stabilized peridynamic correspondence material model (IS-PD-CMM) is
proposed in this paper to simulate the crack propagation of nearly incompressible …

Requiring both stress and energy conditions to be met simultaneously proved key to
modeling brittle crack formation at singular and nonsingular stress concentrations in linear …

An analysis of distortional, ie constant volume, bulk material failure of incompressible
hyperelastic elastomers in multiaxial loading conditions is presented. The present work …

Silicone elastomers, as good sealants and adhesives, have been widely applied in
protective coatings, architectural decoration, electronic packaging, and other fields …

Fibre reinforced polymeric composites bonded with epoxy adhesives often fail ungraciously,
manifesting fibre-tear failure due to the edge peel stresses. This research work proposes …

A comparative investigation between an invariant-based approach using the signed
Beltrami-stress and critical-plane approach using the Findley-stress is carried out for the …
