Fracture mechanics in piezoelectric materials is an evolving field that merges the principles of mechanical failure with the distinct electromechanical properties of piezoelectric systems. These ...
Researchers at Drexel University have found that certain liquids can snap apart like solids when pulled hard enough, a ...
Fracture mechanics is a critical field that examines the initiation and progression of cracks in materials under stress. By combining experimental observations with advanced numerical modelling, ...
In a development that could shift our basic understanding of fluid mechanics, researchers from Drexel University have ...
In my May 2020 CW column, I introduced a new test method for measuring the fracture toughness within the facesheet-to-core interface region of sandwich composites. This proposed test method, referred ...
In this course, students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the fracture of soft materials and experimental approaches to measure the fracture properties of soft materials.
In a surprising discovery that could reshape fluid mechanics, researchers at Drexel University have shown that under certain conditions, a simple ...
