Research on the Behavior and Mechanism of Three-Dimensional Crack Growth under Uniaxial Loading by Zhibo Zhang, Shujie Li, Xuanye Qin

“…Through theoretical analysis, the preexisting crack starts to grow at the end of the short axis, along the short axis end to the long axis end of the preexisting crack, the shear effect decreases gradually, and the tearing effect increases gradually. Combined with numerical simulation, the experimental and analysis results are verified, and the preexisting crack growth process is presented. …”

Anatomical and chemical characterization of Alstonia boonei for pulp and paper production by Kojo Agyapong Afrifah, Enoch Adjei-Mensah

“…The favourable SF, RR, FR, RC, and LSF values obtained for the fibres would produce papers with suitable burst and tearing strengths and folding endurance. Chemically the lower lignin (< 30%), ash and 1% NaOH solubility and the high holocellulose contents of A. boonei, will generate a higher pulp yield. …”

Isolated Fracture of the Coracoid Process by Ali Güleç, Harun Kütahya, Recep Gani Göncü, Serdar Toker

“…In the shoulder girdle, coracoid process fractures generally accompany dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint or glenohumeral joint, scapula corpus, clavicula, humerus fracture, or rotator cuff tear. Coracoid fractures can be missed and the treatment for coracoid process fractures is still controversial. …”

"Molecular dynamics comparative study on properties of different fiber-reinforced nitrile rubbers" by SU Yu-hao1, LI Yun-long1, WANG Shi-jie1, NIE Rui2

“…The results indicated that the interfacial interaction between GF and NBR matrix was the strongest, and GF could adsorb the most NBR molecular chains during the pull-out process, followed by BF, but there was little difference between GF and BF, while the interfacial interaction between PE and NBR matrix was the wea-kest, and the problem of insufficient tear resistance of the composites could be solved by the addition of GF. …”
