Experimental investigation on mode-I fracture properties of magnesium-based wood-like material using DIC technique by Li, C, Chen, H, Zhang, H, Marrow, TJ

“…To understand the fracture behaviors of a new environmentally friendly building material, namely magnesium-based wood-like material (MWM), three-point bending tests were carried out on single-edge notched beams to study its fracture properties. Full-field displacements and crack behaviours of the beams were measured using DIC technique and mode-I fracture properties of the MWM were studied. …”

Polarization holography using diarylethene dye (b1536) doped polymer by Tan, Wei Jie.

“…The effects of the different writing and reading beams were compared and contrasted. A maximum diffraction efficiency of 25.4% was achieved using orthogonal circularly polarized writing and reading beams on a 5%wt polycarbonate film doped with B1536. …”
