The pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) has been widely utilized in engineering and
biomedicine fields. It is known the fibrillation process of PSA can considerably increase the …

This study presents a coupled thermomechanical ordinary state-based peridynamic (OSB-
PD) model, including the effects of randomly varying strength parameter and crack gap heat …

Layered systems of similar/dissimilar soft materials are widely used in advanced device
applications, including bioelectronics, soft robotics, and energy generators. Device …

Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the mechanical behavior of concrete in
uniaxial compression test and tensile splitting test. Especially, the digital image processing …

Notch features, widely used in engineering components, have negative effect on the fatigue
life of structural parts due to the stress concentration caused by their geometry. This …

A novel rate-dependent cohesive phase-field model that can simulate fluid-driven dynamic
quasibrittle fracture in soft coal rocks is presented. The coal matrix and fractures are …

Concrete, as a composite material, is subject to heterogeneity in its mechanical properties
and damage characteristics responding to load. In this paper, a numerical approach for …

The purpose of this study is the experimental and numerical characterization of Solvay's PC
(PEKK-FC)/S2. Some tests have been performed on uni-directional laminates of the cited …
