Fracture of materials has been classified into two types: brittle and ductile fracture. Brittle fracture takes place just after a Hookean regime. Ductile fracture, on the other hand, accompanies a ...

Rheology is the study of the flow and deformation of materials under applied forces, covering both liquids and solids. It examines how materials respond to stress, strain or flow, revealing ...

This polarized light image shows ice grains deformed in experiments with the ring-shear device in Neal Iverson's Iowa State laboratory. The experiments show that grains, on average, grow about 3 times ...
