TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the mixed mode cracking in layered materials and elaborates some of the basic results on the characterization of crack tip fields and on the specification of interface toughness, showing that cracks in brittle, isotropic, homogeneous materials propagate such that pure mode I conditions are maintained at the crack tip.

TL;DR: In this paper, a deformation theory of plasticity is introduced to represent in a phenomenological manner the relative roles of strain hardening and strain gradient hardening, which is a non-linear generalization of Cosserat couple stress theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, a total deformation theory of plasticity, in conjunction with two hardening stress-strain relations, is used to determine the dominant singularity at the tip of a crack in a tension field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for making metal foams characterisation methods and properties of metal foam, and a constitutive model for metal foam design for Creep with Metal Foams Sandwich Structures Energy Management: Packaging and Blast Protection Sound Absorption and Vibration Suppression Thermal Management and Heat Transfer Electrical Properties of metal Foams Cutting, Finishing and Joining Cost Estimation and Viability Case Studies Suppliers of Metal Foam Web Sites Index

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the appearance of complex, ordered structures induced by the buckling of thin metal films owing to thermal contraction of an underlying substrate, and account qualitatively for the size and form of the patterned features in terms of the nonuniform stresses developed in the film near steps on the polymer substrate.
