Crack nucleation from a wedge disclination dipole with shift of rotation axes by Wu, Mao See

“…Biaxial dipoles are more stable when the rotation axis of each disclination approaches the defect line of the other disclination. If the negative disclinations of a uniaxial dipole and a biaxial dipole have the same axis shift, the critical nucleation stress of the biaxial dipole is larger if its positive disclination shift is more than that of the uniaxial dipole. …”

Phase-field modeling of interfacial debonding in multi-phase materials via an adaptive isogeometric-meshfree approach by Li, Weidong, Nguyen-Thanh, Nhon, Zhou, Kun

“…In this modeling, the crack and interface phase fields are introduced for the regularized representations of crack surfaces and interfaces, respectively, and a convenient approach is proposed for implementing the regularized energy related to both crack surfaces and interfaces without requiring the line integration along them. Numerical implementations of the present modeling are performed via the isogeometric-meshfree approach that constructs the equivalence between isogeometric and meshfree approximations. …”

Determination of diffusion length from within a confined region with the use of EBIC by Ong, Vincent K. S., Wu, Dethau.

“…This cannot be achieved using the conventional method, which evaluates the negative reciprocal of the slope of the EBIC signals line scan plotted on a semi-logarithmic scale. A limitation of this method is that the beam entrance surface of the sample is assumed to have negligible surface recombination.…”
