Fatigue-resistant polymer networksToughness of natural rubber measured under monotonic load is ~10,000 J/m2.Fatigue threshold of natural rubber measured under cyclic load is ~50 J/m2.The large difference is due to dissipation

One hundred years of toughnessGriffith repays repeated study. Recently I noticed Section 11, in which he described an experiment on rupture of liquid. Griffith 1921 the phenomena of rupture and

People do not consistently name these two quantities:A. Toughness (J/m2), Gc, measured using a sample with a precut crack.B. Work of fracture (J/m3), Wc, measured using a sample with no

This paper describes a method to print laminates of hard and soft metals. The report on mechanics is light. Does the laminate achieve high strength by de-concentrating stress through shear
