Static elastic properties of composite materials containing microspheres by Jones, GW

“…Subsequently, we analyse the buckling criterion asymptotically in the limit as the thickness ratio tends to zero by analogy with the WKB analysis of a beam on a variable-stiffness substrate. To model the shell after buckling we consider the simplified case of an embedded shell with a crack around its equator. …”

Femtosecond laser interaction with fused silica in surface structuring by Tan, Tong Tat

“…Femtosecond laser has been considered as an advanced technique for microfabrication and micromachining of various multi-functional structures in dielectric materials through multi-photon absorption because of its high-quality and damage-free processing. However, femtosecond beam-glass interaction can be very complex when coupled with the non-linear effect of air and this is not well understood. …”
