I have done this twice before, in 2021 and 2022. The recordings of those sessions are here (lnkd.in/e75j9tRz) and here (lnkd.in/edF6scuR).

I am sorry to hear that, dude. 💔

My phone literally dies three times a day.

Where?

We conclude our work by stating: "It is not without a sense of irony and awe that we make this recommendation, as 70 years of numerical method development and advancements in imaging technology have apparently not improved our ability to estimate fracture toughness from pure shear experiments." 🧵5/5

We then compared them by three metrics: intra- and inter-approach variability, computational cost, and implementation complexity. The WINNER was what we called the Griffith A approach based on the work by Rivlin and Thomas (1953). 🧵4/5

We next compared three broadly different approaches of extracting fracture toughness from these experiments. Some of the methods had multiple manifestation. In total we came up with six different ways (see our paper for all the details). 🧵3/5

We first conducted (notched and untouched) pure shear experiments on blood clots. Of the notched samples, we varied the notch length. All data are openly available! 🧵2/5
