Slow crack growth in polycarbonate films [PDF]
, 2005 We study experimentally the slow growth of a single crack in polycarbonate films submitted to uniaxial and constant imposed stress. The specificity of fracture in polycarbonate films is the appearance of flame shaped macroscopic process zones at the tips

Nonlinear Crack Growth Monitoring [PDF]
Reliability, Stress Analysis, and Failure Prevention Issues, 2000 Abstract Structures subject to crack growth spend 90–95% of their lifetime in nucleation of very tiny flaws into measurable crack sizes. Due to the large variation in initial flaw sizes and the mathematics of flaw growth, the fatigue lifetimes, even of high-quality structures, can vary by a factor of as much as 10 to 20 even in a small ...

Influence of corrosion and creep on intergranular fatigue crack path in 2XXX aluminium alloys [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper, two examples of the influence of time-dependent processes on crack path in two 2XXX aluminium alloys are presented. The first example is concerned with corrosion–fatigue crack growth resistance of a 2024 T351 alloy cracked in the S–L ...

Propagation of surface initiated rolling contact fatigue cracks in bearing Steel [PDF]
, 2016 Surface initiated rolling contact fatigue, leading to a surface failure known as pitting, is a life limiting failure mode in many modern machine elements, particularly rolling element bearings.

A three-dimensional multiscale model of intergranular hydrogen-assisted cracking [PDF]
, 2010 We present a three-dimensional model of intergranular hydrogen-embrittlement (HE) that accounts for: (i) the degradation of grain-boundary strength that arises from hydrogen coverage; (ii) grain-boundary diffusion of hydrogen; and (iii) a continuum model

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 ...

Near-threshold fatigue crack growth in bulk metallic glass composites [PDF]
, 2009 A major drawback in using bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) as structural materials is their extremely poor fatigue performance. One way to alleviate this problem is through the composite route, in which second phases are introduced into the glass to arrest ...
