Experimental Studies and Multi-Scale Modelling of Advanced Ceramics: Fracture, Fragmentation, and Failure
DownloadFall 2024
The objectives of this thesis is to explores the mechanical behaviour of alumina ceramics, focusing on fracture and fragmentation response through a blend of experimental investigations and advanced computational modelling. To bridge the gap between micro-mechanisms and macroscopic material...

An analytical model is presented to study dynamic behaviors of rigid sphere-reinforced random metacomposites. The model is based on the concept that the deviation of the displacement field of embedded rigid spheres from the displacement field of the composite is responsible for novel dynamic...
