Abstract: A variety of materials, such as polycrystalline ceramics or carbon fiber reinforced polymers, show a pronounced anisotropy in their local crack resistance. We introduce an FFT-based method to compute the effective crack energy of heterogeneous,… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Although it is evident that the formation of multiple through-thickness cracks in polymer-supported thin films leads to an increase of the electrical resistance, the attempts to quantify the dependence of resistance growth only based… read more here.
