Related Rule Study of Subcritical Crack Growth and Threshold Values in Transversely Isotropic Slates by Gang Ma, Jiangteng Li, Huiwen Wang

“…In addition, its fracture toughness is minimal when the β angle of the slates is 45°, and crack initiation and crack propagation are generated under load, which can lead to the failure of the slate. lgKI-lgV relations of transversely isotropic slates measured by this method are in accordance with linear rules, which is in good agreement with the Charles theory. The range of K0/KIC for these different bedding angle slates is from 0.511 to 0.789. …”

Resurgence in Liouville theory by Nathan Benjamin, Scott Collier, Alexander Maloney, Viraj Meruliya

“…Unlike many other exactly solvable theories, Liouville theory has a continuously tunable parameter — essentially ℏ — which is related to the central charge of the theory. Here we investigate the nature of the perturbative expansion in powers of ℏ, which is the loop expansion around a semi-classical solution. …”
