Constitutive modeling based on continuum mechanics theory has been a classical approach
for modeling the mechanical responses of materials. However, when constitutive laws are …

In this work we aim to develop a unified mathematical framework and a reliable
computational approach to model the brittle fracture in heterogeneous materials with …

The mechanisms of tensile deformation and fracture of carbon fibers are investigated in
large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations performed for computational …

The dynamics of material failure is a critical phenomenon relevant to a range of scientific
and engineering fields, from healthcare to structural materials. We propose a specially …

Abstract We present OBMeshfree, an Optimization-Based Meshfree solver for compactly
supported nonlocal integro-differential equations (IDEs) that can describe material …

Understanding why a strengthened glass article will fragment, and to what extent, has long
been incomplete. This work addresses this gap for glass plates with parabolic residual …

To investigate the dynamic mechanical behaviors of c‐plane and a‐plane sapphire, a novel
anisotropic constitutive model and fracture criterion are constructed on the basis of bond …

Transparent materials with high strength and toughness are highly demanded as
engineering materials for consumer electronic, structural, and optical applications. Inspired …

Polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibrous networks have gained substantial interest across various
engineering and scientific disciplines, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and …

In literature, the concept of material gradation is shown to inhibit surface crack initiation in
glass/ceramic composites subjected to Hertzian indentation. However, surface cracks could …
