On the Use of the Double Cantilever Beam Specimen for Determining the Plane Strain Fracture Toughness of Metals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen has considerable potential for application to fracture toughness testing because it facilitates the determination of a number of plane strain toughness ...
Direct Observation of Crack Propagation in Copper–Niobium Multilayers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The failure of a cross-sectional 65 nm-thick copper and 150 nm-thick niobium multilayer thin film was investigated via an in situ transmission electron microscopy straining experiment. The fracture ...
The Influence of Lattice Misfit on the Atomic Structures and Defect Energetics of Face Centered Cubic–Body Centered Cubic Interfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using “tunable” interatomic potentials, the lattice misfits for a fcc–bcc metal system have been varied in atomistic models, while keeping other properties essentially unchanged. The procedure and ...
