Material resistance to crack growth and fracture is known as fracture toughness (K c), which determines the structural integrity of brittle materials by characterizing the rate at which energy is ...

A new machine learning process has been shown to outperform clinicians when identifying and classifying hip fractures, raising the possibility of better care and reduced costs. Researchers from Bath’s ...

In my May 2020 CW column, I introduced a new test method for measuring the fracture toughness within the facesheet-to-core interface region of sandwich composites. This proposed test method, referred ...

Adhesives in bonded parts are frequently subjected to varying degrees of direct and indirect strain. The capacity of adhesives to endure such strains is crucial to ensure bonds remain reliable and ...

The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool, or FRAX, is a free online tool that estimates your risk of having a hip or other major fracture in the next 10 years, especially if you have osteoporosis.
