The interaction between an eccentric matrix crack and a circular inclusion in composites was investigated numerically to explore the strain rate effects on the crack deflection/penetration behavior at the matrix-inclusion interface. It is found, with the increase of strain rate, that there will occur in turn the crack deflection, the double-crack fracture and the crack penetration processes for a certain material. Moreover, both higher relative interfacial strength and smaller eccentric angles can redound to the crack penetration. Additionally, it is demonstrated that the strain rate effect on the composite strength is a local structural response characteristic rather than an intrinsic material property, which sounds in agreement with that proposed by previous authors.
Neuroeconomics has the potential to fundamentally change the way economics is done. This article identifies the ways in which this will occur, pitfalls of this approach, and areas where progress has already been made. The value of neuroeconomics studies for social policy lies in the quality, replicability, and relevance of the research produced. While most economists will not contribute to the neuroeconomics literature, we contend that most economists should be reading these studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
