Rethinking Ductility -- A Study Into the Size-Affected Fracture of Polymers
Zainab S. Patel, Abdulaziz O. Alrashed, Kush Dwivedi +2
Ductility quantifies a material's capacity for plastic deformation, and it is a key property for preventing fracture driven failure in engineering parts. While some brittle materia…
Effects of Thermal Modification on the Flexure Properties, Fracture Energy, and Hardness of Western Hemlock
Troy Nakagawa, Erik Poulin, Talbot Rueppel +9
This study investigates the effect of thermal modification on the flexural properties, transverse fracture energy, and hardness of western hemlock, a material which is finding incr…
Size Effect and Scaling in Quasi-static and Fatigue Fracture of Graphene Polymer Nanocomposites
Yao Qiao, Kaiwen Guo, Marco Salviato
This work investigated how the structure size affects the quasi-static and fatigue behaviors of graphene polymer nanocomposites, a topic that has been often overlooked. The results…
Effects of Average Number of Platelets Through the Thickness and Platelet Width on the Mechanical Properties of Discontinuous Fiber Composites
Seunghyun Ko, Troy Nakagawa, Zhisong Chen +7
In this study, we experimentally and numerically investigate the evolution of the tensile material properties of Discontinuous Fiber Composites (DFCs) with an increasing average nu…
