Experimental Investigation of Crack Initiation and Propagation in the Unreinforced Masonry Specimen Subjected to Vertical Settlement by Junbo Wang, Weibing Hu, Xinyu Wang, Yaozhe Liang

“…With the increase in the load and activation of the AE event, the AE event becomes active, and the cumulative ringing count and cumulative energy curve have an obvious turning point, where the slope of the curve is substantially higher than that before the turning point. By using digital close-range industrial photogrammetry, it is observed that the main oblique crack on the left is mainly caused by the difference in the vertical deformation, while the main oblique crack on the right is caused by different displacements and deformation directions of the wall on both sides of the crack.…”

Effect of extrusion process on the stress corrosion cracking resistance of 7N01 aluminum alloy by Xie H., Yang Z., Ma Q. H., Meng W., Hu L., Yin X. H.

“…The Microstructure observation results revealed that recrystallization played an important role on the SCC resistances of the alloys: the new recrystallization grain boundaries with higher grain boundary energy and wider PFZ could magnify the difference of electrochemical property between grain boundary area and the grain interior, thus raising the stress corrosion crack sensitivity of the alloys.…”
