Cracking

  1. Coupled finite element method simulates freeze-induced crack propagation
    A coupled computational method for simulating ice-induced fracturing in rock masses, validated against freezing experiments and applied to slope stability in permafrost regions.
  2. Biomimicry of Combative Bovids to Revamp a Lightweight, Energy-Absorbing Lattice for High Impact Applications
    Biomimetic lattice structures based on muskox and bighorn sheep anatomy demonstrate enhanced energy absorption with external horns, though material ductility proves more critical than geometry.
  3. Rubber-stiffened steel plates showed delamination as the main failure mode
    Study on rubber-stiffened steel plates and rapid-hardening concrete for sustainable bridge expansion joints, examining static performance, failure mechanisms, and design parameters for jointless.
