Failure theories are used to predict when a material will fail due to static loading. They do this by comparing the stress state at a point with material properties that can be easily determined from ...

The performance of polypropylene (PP) insulation material used in high-voltage power cables is crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the cables. To deeply understand the aging and ...

Why Stonehenge was ‘ultimately a failure’ in striking new theory on its origins Stonehenge may have served a political purpose for prehistoric Britons, research suggests ...

It has been known for a long time that the stones came from further than 12 miles away, but the long-distance links boost the theory that Stonehenge served a unifying purpose in ancient Britain.

This study presents a methodology to predict the fatigue failure of materials due to cyclic loading within the realm of peridynamic theory. This approach incorporates material failure intrinsically ...

2.2 Tsai-Hill failure criterion This criterion is based on a generalization of the maximum distortion theory (Von-Mises criterion) applied to isotropic materials 12, where the material has different ...

Here, we report the ideal strength of element-substituted type-I and type-VIII clathrates and the shear deformation mechanism by using density functional theory. The results show that the framework ...

In trying to solve the ultimate problem, we may have inadvertently created a monster.
