The study investigates the cyclic bond behavior of FRP bars from four key parameters—bar diameter, embedment length, concrete strength, and rib geometry—leading to the development of a unified bond ...

All-ceramic dental restorations have been widely applied in prosthodontics because of their aesthetic, biocompatible and inert properties. 1 Among the major shortcomings of brittle ceramics is ...

It's a well-known characteristic of metals that repeated bending in the same place can cause the material to weaken and eventually break; this phenomenon, known as metal fatigue, can cause serious ...

In August 2023, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories directly observed nanoscale fatigue cracks in pure platinum and copper films closing on their own under cyclic loading in a vacuum. The ...
