Propagation pattern of cracks around a shale borehole via the cohesive element method by Dexu Sun

“…Therefore, in combination with rock mechanics theory and fracture mechanics theory, the cohesive element method is adopted to establish a numerical model for differential crack propagation due to bottomhole pressure on the basis of the B-K fracture criterion. …”

Deformation and strengthening behavior of Al-Cu-based alloys at ambient and elevated temperatures by Mehran Shahhosseininia, Mohammadreza Zamani

“…SEM images illustrated that as-cast and heat-treated Al-Cu-Mg and Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloys underwent a brittle deformation with intergranular-transgranular fracture mechanisms at ambient temperature. In contrast, at elevated testing temperatures, some dimples were observed to form. …”
