TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the deflection angles of cracks in a hot-pressed MoSi2 with 20 vol% vapor-liquid solid β-SiC whiskers to determine the degree to which they are affected by the whisker reinforcement.
Abstract: Crack propagation in SiC-whisker-reinforced MoSi2 was studied. In particular, the deflection angles of the cracks were examined to determine the degree to which they are affected by the whisker reinforcement. The composite studied was hot-pressed MoSi2 with 20 vol% vapor-liquid-solid β-SiC whiskers. A substantial difference was found between the deflection angles of cracks formed in the reinforced MoSi2 and those in a control sample with no whiskers, showing the process of crack deflection as an important, but not the only, toughening mechanism.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the long history of the classical problem of bending a thin rectangular elastic plate with clamped edges by uniform pressure and provide a considerable simplification of the numerical algorithm.
Abstract: This paper addresses the fascinating long history of the classical problem of bending of a thin rectangular elastic plate with clamped edges by uniform pressure. Among various mathematical and engineering approaches, a method of superposition proposed by Lame (1852, 1859) and Mathieu (1881, 1890) and developed by the mathematician Koialovich (1902) and engineers Boobnoff (1902, 1914), Hencky (1913) and Inglis (1925) appears to be very useful for the analysis of distribution of stresses and deflection inside a plate. The object of this paper is both to clarify some purely mathematical questions connected with the solution of the infinite systems of linear algebraic equations and to provide a considerable simplification of the numerical algorithm.
