Crack growth resistance in nuclear graphite [PDF]
, 2002 R-curve behaviour is often used for evaluating crack growth resistance in quasibrittle materials but few studies have focused on polycrystalline graphite. In this study, R-curve behaviour in three commercial grade nuclear graphites, of varying structure

Colapso de la cubierta metálica de un polideportivo; patologías singulares y recurrentes
Revista ALCONPAT, 2012 RESUMEN En ocasiones se producen patologías que aun siendo singulares como es el caso que se presenta, ya se han producido anteriormente, y pese a ello, no se ha sabido transmitir las enseñanzas de esas tipologías de daños, y vuelven a repetirse.

A numerical study of crack shielding and deflection under extensive plasticity [PDF]
, 2009 Experimentally observed crack deflection events in multi-layered material systems, occurring even under pure mode-I loading, are here simulated and explained through elasto-plastic finite element modelling.

The effect of residual stresses arising from laser shock peening on fatigue crack growth [PDF]
, 2010 Residual stresses have in the past been introduced to manipulate growth rates and shapes of cracks under cyclic loads. Previously, the effectiveness of shot peening in retarding the rate of fatigue crack growth was experimentally studied.
