Drexel researchers have shown that a recently discovered deformation phenomenon, called ripplocation, occurs in bulk materials when constrained during compression. Every material can bend and break.

Every material can bend and break. Through nearly a century's worth of research, scientists have had a pretty good understanding of how and why. But, according to new findings by materials science and ...

From bone and wood to concrete and carbon fibre, composites are ubiquitous natural and synthetic materials. Eshelby’s inclusion theory describes how macroscopic stress fields couple to isolated ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune and CSIR-NCL (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research – National Chemical Laboratory) Pune have shown that the ...

Research in mechanics of solids mainly includes fundamental theory (elasticity, plasticity, variational principles, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures,and inelastic constitutive ...
