Abstract: In this paper, the two state M-integral is extended from macrofacture to nanodefect mechanics. The question as to why the M-integral for a nanovoid or a soft nano-inclusion might be negative ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the M-integral analysis for a nano-inclusion in plane elastic materials under uni-axial or bi-axial loadings. Based on previous works ( and , 1975, “A Continuum Theory ...

Abstract: One advantage of dual-polarization radars is the ability to differentiate between water and ice phases in storms. The application of difference reflectivity (ZDP) in the analysis of mixed-phase precipitation is presented. ...
