TL;DR: A review of recent theoretical and experimental works related to mechanics and mechanical properties of 2D materials can be found in this article, where the authors show that there is a continual growth of interest in the mechanics of other two-dimensional materials beyond graphene.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of experimentation and analysis is used to identify and study the mechanisms that govern the failure of unidirectional fiber composites under compression, and failure was found to lead to kink bands with distinct orientations and widths.

TL;DR: In this paper, the toughness of a glass/'epoxy interface was measured over a wide range of mode mixes and the results suggest that the inelastic behavior of the epoxy, frictional, and, perhaps, three-dimensional effects should be considered.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined crack nucleation from a range of corner angles and see if a more general crack nucleations criterion could be formulated, where the consistent nucleation criterion was that the area under the traction-separation curve and its maximum traction (the dominant cohesive zone model parameters) remain the same.
