The tensile ductility of cellular solids: the role of imperfections
(Elsevier, 2016-10-11)
Metallic and polymeric foams typically possess a low tensile failure strain of a few percent despite the fact that the parent solid can have high ductility (10% or more). This is remarkable as foams are bending-dominated ...
Statistical grain size effects in fretting crack initiation
(Elsevier, 2016-09-20)
A crystal plasticity computational framework is developed and validated to investigate the microstructure sensitivity of crack initiation in fretting. Randomly distributed microstructure geometries are incorporated into a ...
Effects of material thickness and processing method on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) degradation and mechanical performance
(Springer Verlag, 2016-09-02)
In this study, the effects of material thickness and processing method on the degradation rate and the changes in the mechanical properties of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) material during simulated physiological degradation ...
