On the cyclic J-integral of a 3D semi elliptical surface crack [PDF]
, 2014 This paper investigates an approach for calculating the cyclic J-Integral (ΔJ) through a new industrial application. A previously proposed method is investigated further with the extension of this technique through a new application of a practical 3D ...

Influence of Clay Content on Crack Evolution of Clay–Sand Mixture
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Clay particles have an important influence on the cracking of clay–sand mixture, but the quantitative relationships between the clay content and crack evolution of the clay–sand mixture are still not clear. In order to explore the crack evolution process

Effects of graphite nodules on crack growth behaviour of austempered ductile iron [PDF]
, 2007 Austempered ductile iron (ADI) is a candidate material for camshafts, where however, the early stages of fatigue damage are of major concern during service.

Fatigue crack growth in thin notched woven glass composites under tensile loading. Part II: modelling [PDF]
, 2011 Fatigue propagation of a through-the-thickness crack in thin woven glass laminates is difficult to model when using homogeneous material assumption. Crack growth depends on both the fatigue behaviour of the fibres and of the matrix, these two phenomena ...
