Fracture toughness is a critical measure of a material's ability to resist crack propagation in the presence of pre-existing flaws. Resistance curve (J–R curve) analysis, employing parameters such as ...

Material resistance to crack growth and fracture is known as fracture toughness (K c), which determines the structural integrity of brittle materials by characterizing the rate at which energy is ...

Yttria Partially Stabilized Zirconia (YPSZ) is a high toughness ceramic which has recently found increasing use in the production of dental prostheses [1]. In order to deliver a finish which is ...

Choosing the right meter/mix dispensing machine requires careful evaluation of key material and process parameters to develop a precise specification, ensuring key metrics such as accuracy, output, ...

Modeling the Fracture Resistance of Line Pipe Steels for the Transport of Dense-Phase Carbon Dioxide ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...
