The purpose of this research was to present a simulation modelling crack propagation trajectory in linear elastic material subjected mixed-mode loadings and investigate the effects existence hole geometrical thickness on fatigue growth life under constant amplitude loading. For various geometry thickness, (I/II) studies were carried out utilize single edge cracked plate with three holes compact...

The current study presents the development and implementation of a bespoke experimental technique to generate characterise mode II crack initiation propagation in arterial tissue. begins with demonstration that lap-shear testing tissue results mixed fracture, rather than II. We perform detailed computational design method (which we refer as shear fracture ring test (SFRT)) robustly repeatably a...

In 2004, a team comprised of researchers and service providers launched the Safer Crack Use, Outreach, Research and Education (SCORE) project in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The project was aimed at developing a better understanding of the harms associated with crack cocaine smoking and determining the feasibility of introducing specific harm reduction strategie...
