Ripplocations: a progress report

MW Barsoum - Frontiers in Materials, 2020 - frontiersin.org
It has long been recognized that when the basal planes of crystalline layered solids were
loaded edge-on in compression they failed by the formation of kink bands. And while no …

On the transition from shear-driven fibre compressive failure to fibre kinking in notched CFRP laminates under longitudinal compression

R Gutkin, ST Pinho, P Robinson, PT Curtis - Composites Science and …, 2010 - Elsevier
This paper investigates longitudinal compressive failure in notched unidirectional and cross-
ply carbon/epoxy specimens. Dedicated test jigs were developed to observe the failure …

Collagen fibrils in functionally distinct tendons have differing structural responses to tendon rupture and fatigue loading

TW Herod, NC Chambers, SP Veres - Acta Biomaterialia, 2016 - Elsevier
In this study we investigate relationships between the nanoscale structure of collagen fibrils
and the macroscale functional response of collagenous tissues. To do so, we study two …

observed in polymer matrix fiber composites, single crystals, geological formations, and …

Post-bifurcation analysis of a thin-walled hyperelastic tube under inflation

YB Fu, SP Pearce, KK Liu - International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 2008 - Elsevier
We consider the problem of bulging, or necking, of an infinite thin-walled hyperelastic tube
that is inflated by an internal pressure, with the axial stretch at infinity maintained at unity. We …

Kinematic and tectonic implications of crenulation cleavage, kink bands, and mesoscopic folds in the Baraboo Syncline, Wisconsin (∼ 1.45 Ga Picuris Orogen)

S Marshak, MS Wilkerson, J Defrates - Journal of Structural Geology, 2024 - Elsevier
Abstract The Baraboo Syncline of Wisconsin is a south-verging, regional-scale fold that
formed during the∼ 1.45 Ga Picuris Orogeny. It involves Mesoproterozoic quartzite and …
