Failure theories are used to predict when a material will fail due to static loading. They do this by comparing the stress ...

Shocking new theory about static electricity. By Joseph Castro. June 29, 2011 / 2:57 PM EDT ... agrees that material is being transferred during static electricity, ...

While strength might indicate whether or not the design will work, a material’s ductility will help indicate which failure theory to use. Ductile materials are defined as having more than 5% ...

BRITTLE MATERIAL Recall that one failure theory that is used for brittle material is the Mohr’s criterion. With this theory, the brittle material is assumed to fail in normal stress, and that the ...

Explaining how 2-D materials break at the atomic level Physicists found that to shed light on the cracking of MoS2, we must go beyond the theory used so far ...

Collectively, these developments underscore the theory’s potential to revolutionise simulations in fracture mechanics by providing detailed insights into material weakening and failure processes ...
