International Journal of Fracture Mechanics and Damage Science

The present study investigates the influence of load rate, geometrical parameters, and material properties on the J-integral behavior of AA2050-T84 aluminum-lithium alloy using three-dimensional elastic–plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM) analysis.

The current study aims to examine how different parameters in friction stir spot welding influence hardness and tensile strength, while identifying the most suitable parameter combinations to enhance the overall quality of the fabricated components.

Additive Manufacturing (AM), particularly Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has become a widely adopted manufacturing technology due to its design flexibility, low cost, and capability for rapid prototyping

Laminated composite plates are used in aerospace, automotive, and marine industries.

Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs), have drawn a lot of interest in various engineering applications due to their superior mechanical properties and ability to withstand extreme conditions

Phase-field modeling has emerged as a powerful computational framework for predicting fracture behavior in engineering materials, offering a unified description of crack initiation, propagation, branching, and coalescence without the need for explicit crack tracking.
