1. A National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) research team has identified the mechanism by which microscopic fatigue cracks grow in metals, solving a half-century-old mystery. The team found ...

Fatigue crack growth and closure mechanisms are fundamental to understanding the durability of engineering structures subjected to cyclic loading. Over decades of research, scientists have ...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. NI Yong and Prof. HE Linghui from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) uncovered the propagation and toughening mechanism of tortuous crack ...

Stress-induced cracks often lead to catastrophic failure of materials. For membranes, stress loads concomitant with thermal and mechanical risks during separation will gradually produce cracks, which ...

TÜV Verband has rolled out its latest guide: leaflet 1276. It’s not your typical dry report—it digs into how gaseous hydrogen ...

Engineers discovered hidden cracks in flexible electronics and proposed a new design that could make foldable devices and solar cells more durable. (Nanowerk News) From health monitors and ...
