Intergranular cracks propagate either through the brittle extension of an existing crack or through coalescence with secondary cracks ahead of the crack front. Secondary cracks form via void nucleation and growth at grain boundaries and preferentially initiate at high-angle GBs

Coherent twin boundaries are not significant locations for hydrogen segregation, regardless of sample strain.

I’m particularly proud of our new Acta Materialia paper on hydrogen embrittlement. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to Sammi Cheung for being awarded a DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Fellowship to work at LLNL on nano 3D printing!

The new pope has a degree from Villanova, where my former student teaches. Basically, I’m besties with the pope.

The application for the Timoshenko Distinguished Postdoc Fellowship is now open. We are seeking exceptional applicants in the field of solid mechanics (broadly defined) for a fully funded, two-year position at Stanford. Please share widely. mechanics.stanford.edu/timoshenko/ste…

A ray of research sunshine: installing the new Femtotools in-situ SEM nanoindenter, with support from the Stanford-SLAC Battery Center.

Congratulations to @TengCui1 who will join the @UWaterloo as an assistant professor in a few months. Looking forward to seeing great work from his future lab!
