    Fatigue Life Prediction for Component with Local Structural Discontinuity Based on Stress Field Intensity

    The impact of notch is one of the major problems that remain to be solved when predicting fatigue life. The zone of notch root has serious stress concentration condition. Stress field intensity (SFI) approach ...

    Coupled Non-Fickian Diffusion and Large Deformation of Hydrogels

    Solvent migration in swelling polymer shows complex behaviour, as the interface of wet (rubbery) region moves along with solvent diffusion into the dry (glassy) region, which is accompanied by local deformatio...

    Study of Damage Evolution in High Strength Al Alloy using X-Ray Tomography

    Many micromechanics-based damage models were developed to mimic the macroscopic response of materials through matching measures such as toughness and failure strain [1]. However, there is a lack of microstruct...
