Explores deformation and fatigue under cyclic stresses in materials, including plastic deformation, cyclic hardening, and the influence of environmental factors.
Explores crack growth, stress intensity factors, and fracture mechanics in materials, emphasizing energy considerations and critical stress intensity for crack growth onset.
Explores concrete degradation, focusing on corrosion, freeze-thaw damage, and alkali-aggregate reaction, with prevention methods and repair techniques.
Explores shock-induced amorphization in ultrahard ceramics, investigating the anomalous deformation of boron carbide and comparing Hugoniot curves with experimental data.
