Abstract: Ferritic-austenitic duplex steels demonstrate a complex deformational behavior even in the absence of mechanical loads. Purely thermal cycling in the temperature interval from 20°C to 900°C ...

Abstract: This special issue of the Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology contains a number of papers in the field of computational and experimental mechanics of advanced materials. Some of the ...

Abstract: The dynamic mode-I energy release rate of cracks propagating along elastic interfaces in double cantilever beams under high loading rates is derived analytically for the first time by accounting for structural vibration, ...
