Abstract: The utility of surface displacement measurements as a source of quantitative information about subsurface plastic deformation is illustrated by analysis of the transformed zone in magnesia partially ...

Abstract: Matrix cracking in ceramic matrix composites with fine grained fibers at high temperatures will be governed by fiber creep, as relaxation of the fibers eliminates crack tip shielding. Using a ...

Abstract: As part of the quest to add the infraply scale to high-fidelity simulations of damage evolution in composites, a model of the phenomenon of delamination jumping across transverse plies is formulated by using nonlinear ...
