Speaker: Dr Mehdi Serati, School of Civil Engineering, The University of Queensland
Abstract: Tensile fracturing of hard and brittle solids is substantially different from weaker and medium strength materials. Further research is needed to understand these differences and their practical applications in engineering design.
