A Review on Fatigue Life Prediction Methods for Metals [PDF]
Metallic materials are extensively used in engineering structures and fatigue failure is one of the most common failure modes of metal structures. Fatigue phenomena occur when a material is subjected to fluctuating stresses and strains, which lead to ...

Crack Propagation Calculations for Optical Fibers under Static Bending and Tensile Loads Using Continuum Damage Mechanics [PDF]
Static fatigue behavior is the main failure mode of optical fibers applied in sensors. In this paper, a computational framework based on continuum damage mechanics (CDM) is presented to calculate the crack propagation process and failure time of optical ...

Micro-mechanics and continuum damage mechanics [PDF]
The authors start with the formulation of continuum damage mechanics (CDM) by Kachanov and its applications to some problems. Kachanov was the first who attempted to describe a creep rupture by an internal damage variable in the constitutive equations for the creep behavior. This idea was immediately related to results of macroscopic tests and could be

Continuum damage mechanics based probabilistic fatigue life prediction for metallic material
Based on continuum damage mechanics, a probabilistic method of predicting high-cycle fatigue life for metallic material is proposed. First, macro-meso two-scale stress–strain equations are established by combining Eshelby-Kroner localization law and ...
