  • A relationship between wave dispersion and fracture strength for a composite material

    Creator:
    Ilcewicz, Larry Bert
    Abstract:
    Wave dispersion and fracture are phenomena that involve. mechanisms triggered at the scale of a material's internal structure. Experiments were performed with a candidate material to judge the hypothesis that wave dispersion measurements can be used to nondestructively predict fracture strength. Wood-based particleboard was chosen as the candidate material because...

  • On the phenomena of fracture in particle-board

    Creator:
    Ilcewicz, Larry Bert
    Abstract:
    Nonlocal theories of continuum mechanics are used to model the fracture behavior of particleboard in tension perpendicular to the plane of the board. Classical theories of fracture are examined in comparison to a nonlocal crack solution which has removed the stress singularity at the crack tip. With the removal of...
