A new evaluation method of JRC and its size effectBy T. Saito, S. Murata
An original concept of JRC-diagram that can evaluate JRC and its size-effect by using a fractal model was proposed. In order to confirm the applicability of the JRC-diagram, first, JRC of the tensile

Presidential Address: Zinc - Man?s Best Friend?By W. H. Van Niekerk
The metal zinc has been around since only about 1400 AD. This may sound like a long time, but when compared to fellow base metals copper and lead, which were discovered in 5000 and 4000 BC respectivel
