Crack kinking at the tip of a mode I crack in an orthotropic solid.
The competition between crack penetration and crack kinking is addressed for a mode I macroscopic crack in an orthotropic elastic solid. Cohesive zones of finite peak strength and finite toughness are placed directly ahead of...

Crack growth in masonry:

One of the most common obstacles faced by engineers when making numerical models to assess damage in historical masonry lies in defining the most suitable constitutive models when there is shortage of either material...

Saving the moral capital of NGOs

The literature on nonprofit management has embraced the concept of “accountability” to target urgent challenges related to NGO probity and integrity, and there have been attempts in the literature to use rational-choice-based...

Elucidating the Mechanism of Fatigue Crack Acceleration Following the Occurrence of an Underload

Fatigue Crack Growth Rate (FCGR) is altered by a single anomalous load exceeding cyclic maximum (Overload) or compressive load below cyclic minimum (Underload). The authors study fatigue crack acceleration due to a single...

Pavement Crack Detection and Identification Based on Improved YOLOv8
Aiming at the problem of poor real-time performance and low precision of traditional pavement crack detection, an improved YOLOv8 algorithm is proposed to realize the automatic pavement crack detection and identification....

Crack imaging by scanning laser-line thermography and laser-spot thermography
The thermographic images of laser-heated spots or lines are perturbed by nearby cracks, providing NDE techniques for crack detection. Scanning with a laser line, rather than a laser spot, results in a substantial reduction in...

Crack channelling mechanisms in brittle coating systems under moisture or temperature gradients
Abstract: Crack channelling is predicted in a brittle coating-substrate system that is subjected to a moisture or temperature gradient in the thickness direction. Competing failure scenarios are identified, and are distinguished...

Modelling fatigue crack growth in shape memory alloys
Abstract: We present a phase field‐based framework for modelling fatigue damage in Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). The model combines, for the first time: (i) a generalized phase field description of fracture, incorporating multiple...
Relapse into opiate and crack cocaine misuse
Maike Klein
Dec 31, 2021
Aims: International statistics show that relapse rates associated with opiate and crack cocaine (OCC) misuse remain high. This has led to an increased scientific interest in the topic of relapse. However, there are limited...

Facile synthesis of crack-free metal-organic framework films on alumina by a dip-coating route in the presence of polyethylenimine

A facile polyethylenimine (PEI)-assisted dip-coating method allows crack-free films of MIL-101(Cr) and MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 to be prepared on alumina supports. The presence of PEI enhances the selectivity of the films...

The importance of project management in education has become increasingly evident in our evolving technology-ridden lives. Educators are required to manage complex projects involving multiple stakeholders, resources, and...
Call to Action
Angela McCaskill
Jul 01, 2021
Low quality healthcare services can hinder economic and social development, result in premature death and disability, and waste human capital. To compound pre-pandemic healthcare access and equity issues, the quality of care...
