A comprehensive review of soil remolding toughness determination and its use in the classification of fine-grained soils
(2023)The remolding toughness property of fine-grained soil has not been investigated that much, mainly because it has not lent easily to direct measurement, with soil toughness usually qualitatively described. In practical ... -
Self-healing materials: What can nature teach us?
(2017)Natural materials such as bone and insect cuticle are capable of self-repair, a facility that greatly increases their durability and safe working stress. Some engineering materials have also been designed to be self-healing, ... -
The theory of critical distances applied to multiscale toughening mechanisms
(2019)The Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) is an approach used for predicting the effect of cracks and notches on fracture and fatigue behaviour. In recent years it has been successfully applied to a wide range of problems ...
