Fracture of Soft Materials
By Invitation Only | Submission Deadline: 15 October 2024
Guest Editors: Rui Huang, Xuanhe Zhao, Krishnaswamy Ravi-Chandar
Fracture of soft materials often sets the limit for their applications in designing, manufacturing, reliability and service lifetime. Understanding fracture of these soft materials requires a close synergy between mechanics and chemistry. -
Special Issue: Structural Integrity
CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS
Guest Editors: Chinthapenta Viswanath, Joshi Shailendra & Chandrasekar Srinivasan
This Special Issue invites contributions on the relevance and uses of fracture, fatigue, and damage. Original contributions in the broad areas of structural integrity pertaining to brittle, ductile, polymers, and elastomers fracture behavior, fatigue, and damage will be considered. Review papers comparing various experimental and computational benchmark fracture problems are also welcome.
