Background: Studying mechanical properties of canine trabecular bone is important for a better understanding of fracture mechanics or bone disorders and is also needed for numerical simulation of canine femora. No detailed ...

The proposed study focuses on blanking of thin steel sheets of Dogal1000DP +Z100MBO. Numerical and experimental investigations of the influence of clearance and punch speed on the cutting force and the geometry of the ...

In this paper, the phenomenon of intergranular fracture in polycrystalline materials is investigated using a nonlinear fracture mechanics approach. The nonlocal cohesive zone model (CZM) for finite thickness interfaces ...

Kerfless wafering techniques have the potential to reduce the cost of crystalline silicon (Si) in photovoltaics by saving material and production costs. Thermomechanical spallation from thick wafers with aluminium (Al) in ...
