In the paper “A graph-based method for quantifying crack patterns on reinforced concrete shear walls,” which was recently published in the journal Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, ...

As blood dries, it leaves behind a complex microstructural pattern—cracks, rings, and folds—each shaped by the interplay of its cellular components, proteins, and evaporation dynamics.

Whenever an object, like a stone or a bullet, pierces through brittle materials like glass or Plexiglass, the energy expended by the impact results in a characteristic cracking pattern that ...

That is the claim of researchers in Germany who have created models to describe how the hexagonal columns emerge from an initial rectangular pattern of cracks in cooling lava. Beyond addressing a ...

Researchers at IIT Bombay studied how blood drops dried on tilted surfaces and what the cracks that are left behind can tell us about the blood drop.

However, the cracking-based micro and nanopatterns show several weaknesses and limitations: only one-dimensional (1D) or limited 2D patterns because of the direction of applied stresses 4,5,6,7,8 ...

When one of these cracks suddenly and rapidly spreads, it can be life-threatening, but the rich, intricate patterns formed by cracks can also be spectacular and intriguing. Until now, physicists ...

You can skip the PIN altogether and use an unlock pattern on Android... but it turn out those might not be as hard to crack as you think. A team of researchers has shown that Android pattern locks ...

“Creating a mathematical representation of cracking patterns is a novel idea and the key contribution of our recent paper,” Ebrahimkhanlou said. “We find this to be a highly effective way to ...
