Abstract: Due to the low in-plane strength of C/SiC ceramic matrix composite (CMC), arm failure may occur in the classical double cantilever beam (DCB) test for determination of the mode I interlaminar fracture toughness. A taped ...

Abstract: In the past decades, various novel functions (i.e., negative Poisson's ratio, zero thermal expansion) have been obtained by tailoring the microstructures of the cellular structures. Among all the microstructures, the ...
