  • Crack Penetration and Deflection Behavior at Interfaces

    Creator:
    Alam, Mahabub
    Abstract:
    This study computationally and experimentally examines the mechanisms of crack penetration, deflection and the transition between penetration and deflection. The finite element analysis based computational modeling work used strength-and-energy based cohesive-zone approach to study the effect of dimensionless parameters (e.g., interfacial incident angle, fracture-length scale, and normalized toughness) on penetration/deflection...

  • Durability Assessment of Wood Composites Using Fracture Mechanics

    Creator:
    Mirzaei, Babak
    Abstract:
    The advent of synthetic adhesives has transformed the structural applications of wood. However, a persistent issue in adhesively-bonded wood products has been moisture durability. When designing wood based composites, moisture durability will depend on both the wood phase and the adhesive phase. A key question, therefore, is how does one...
