Strength of multilayered plates with impact damage by V.I. Mitryaykin, O.N. Bezzametnov

“…Impact damage on sandwich materials varies in the resulting shape and size, thus hampering the numerical assessment of their stress-strain state because these damage characteristics are difficult to predict. Here, we introduced an experimental technique to determine the PCM strength and modeled the impact damage on rectangular plates to illustrate the conclusions drawn. …”

Characterization of Permeability Changes in Coal of High Rank during the CH4-CO2 Replacement Process by X. M. Ni, Q. F. Jia, Y. B. Wang

“…The influences of coal matrix expansion/contraction and effective stress on the permeability of coal with different thermal maturities are different during the CH4-CO2 replacement process due to different mechanical properties and gas adsorption capacities. To accurately predict the variation law of coal permeability during the CH4-CO2 replacement process, it is critical to understand how the matrix expansion/contraction and effective stress affect the permeability of coal at different thermal maturities during the CH4-CO2 replacement. …”

3D thickness effects around notch and crack tip stress/strain fields by R.C.O. Góes, J.T.P. Castro, M.A. Meggiolaro

“…Fatigue crack initiation and growth, plastic zone sizes and shapes, and localized constraint effects that affect toughness are typical problems associated with such 3D effects, which may lead to non-conservative damage and life predictions if neglected. To quantify how important they can be, first finite element techniques are used to simulate thickness and notch-tip radius effects in the fields around such tips, and to evaluate their importance from the structural design point of view. …”
