This special issue of Advanced Engineering Materials covers different aspects of brittle fracture and fatigue of traditional and advanced materials.
A Nanoindentation Approach for the Extraction of Flow Curves
This study aims to provide evidence that a multiple sharp tip approach can be used to extract the stress/strain behavior of metals independent of their microstructure.
NanoSPD7 in Sydney 2017
The International NanoSPD Steering Committee and the Local Organising Committee invite you to attend NanoSPD7 to be held in Sydney on 2–7 July 2017.
Fatigue Crack Growth in Two Pipeline Steels
Researchers focus on studying the fatigue-crack-growth behaviour of two types of pipeline steels for the transport of hydrogen or natural gases.
A Critical Review of Mg-Zn-Y Series Alloys Containing I, W and LPSO Phases
The role of ternary phases such as I-phase, cubic W-phase and LPSO-phase in developing high-performance magnesium alloys is reviewed.
Inspired by Nature – Advanced Engineering Designs
Only seldom are square/rectangular shapes found in nature. One notable exception is the bird feather shaft -why?
Manufacturing of Reticulated Open-Cellular Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Foams
A process for the fabrication of open-cellular aluminum nitride foams by the replica technique avoiding the usage of organic solvents has been developed.
Materialica Award for Tribond
Newly developed composite tribond offers a possible steel solution for lightweight applications.
Engineering Surfaces Through Sequential Stop-Flow Photopatterning
Researchers report the engineering of surfaces through sequential stop-flow photopatterning, in work dedicated to the late Professor Edward Kramer.
Transparent Furniture that Glows in the Dark
Researchers reveal “Quantum-Dot Wood”, transparent wood impregnated with luminescent semiconductor nanoparticles.
