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.

The cause of failure in engineering structures is routinely investigated via the detailed study of material fracture surfaces. This remains a key research area in material sciences, with researchers ...

(Nanowerk News) For the first time, researchers have been able to observe the way ceramic materials fracture on the atomic scale. They confirm that the arrangement of molecules between grains within a ...

Scientists have completed one of the most detailed simulations to date of how materials break, according to two new studies. The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

For conventional horizontal gravel packed wells, a comprehensive study using various ceramsite densities reveals the ...

A new biocompatible polymer-based composite material could soon replace metal plates in treating difficult and unstable fractures. Developed at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, the ...
