Fracture Toughness Improvement Mechanism of Calcium Treated Steel

Interfacial Fracture Toughness Measurement and Improvement for Composite/metal Interfaces

Adhesive bonding is enlarging its application range as a practical method for the joining of dissimilar materials in automotives, aircrafts, microelectronics and medical devices industries replacing conventional joining techniques such as welding, bolting and riveting [1-5]. Especially for joining of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to other structural materials such as metal, traditio...

Fracture toughness of graphene.

Perfect graphene is believed to be the strongest material. However, the useful strength of large-area graphene with engineering relevance is usually determined by its fracture toughness, rather than the intrinsic strength that governs a uniform breaking of atomic bonds in perfect graphene. To date, the fracture toughness of graphene has not been measured. Here we report an in situ tensile testi...
