Abstract: The toughness of a glass/epoxy interface was measured over a wide range of mode mixes. A toughening effect was associated with increasing positive and negative inplane shear components. Optical ...

Abstract: The paper establishes the range of in-plane fracture mode mixtures and contact zone sizes that can be obtained from an edge-cracked bimaterial strip under biaxial applied displacements. The ...

Abstract: Many mechanical operations in computers tend to cause wear. The authors grouped the problem areas into the following list: 1. Printers; 2. Magnetic recording technology; 3. Wear by paper; 4. ...
