Compressive Splitting in Brittle Solids: The Inverse of Wrinkling in Sheets
Maryam Khodadad, Francois Barthelat, John D. Clayton +2
Axial splitting is the dominant failure mode of brittle solids under compression, yet its mechanical origin remains unclear. We show that clamped loading platens suppress lateral P…

A Kinetic Phase-Field Model of Diffusion Bonding: A Nonlocal Approach to Interface Coalescence
Maryam Khodadad, Noel Walkington, Suresh Kalyanam +2
Conventional phase-field models often drive solid-solid interfaces to coalesce when in close proximity. This feature limits their use for processes like diffusion bonding, where th…
