Computational crack path prediction
Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, 1985Abstract A computer program has been developed for the numerical prediction of curved crack growth paths under proportional loading conditions. The numerical prediction is performed by the step-by-step method in cooperation with the stress analysis ahead of the crack tip and the determination of the curved increment of the crack growth.

International Journal of Fatigue, 1995
Abstract The main features of the path taken by a propagating fatigue crack are discussed. It is assumed that a material is homogeneous and isotropic on a macroscopic scale, that behaviour is essentially elastic, and that the initial crack is ‘long’. Under these conditions the path taken by a propagating fatigue crack is reasonably well understood in

Fast evaluation of crack growth path using time series forecasting
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2019This paper aims at forecasting the crack propagation in risk assessment of engineering structures based on time series algorithms named “long short-term memory” and “multi-layer neural network”.

Simple probabilistic models of fracture of 3D polycrystals involving transgranular and intergranular cracks are based on undamaged paths and appropriate percolation thresholds. In a second part, theoretical extensions of phase field models for crack initiation and propagation to the case of locally heterogeneous and anisotropic fracture energy are ...

Planar cracks running along piecewise linear paths
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2004Summary: Consider a crack propagating in a plane according to a loading that results in anti-plane shear deformation. We show here that if the crack path consists of two straight segments making an angle \(\varphi \neq 0\) at their junction, examples can be provided for which the value of the stress-intensity factor (SIF) actually depends on the ...

In relation to fatigue crack growth, it is observed that long cracks under mixed mode loading conditions branch to follow the direction along which \(\Delta k_{\text{II}}\) is zero, but some results against this local symmetry criterion are also reported.

Crack closure and crack path prediction for curved cracks under thermal load
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 1993Abstract Based on an integral equation formulation, a boundary element method is presented for the analysis of curved cracks under mechanical and thermal load. It takes into account possible load and crack shape-dependent crack closure effects. In conjunction with a suitable crack growth criterion, the method enables, by means of an incremental ...

The reliability of a joint subjected to mechanical and thermal loads during processing and service constitutes a major technical problem. Joints contain flaws. The observed strength of a joint depends upon the location and size of the flaws, as well as the crack path through the joint.

Discrete crack path prediction by an adaptive cohesive crack model
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2010In this contribution, an enhancement of the numerical simulation methods for cohesive crack propagation within the finite element framework is introduced. Motivated by some fundamental drawbacks of the standard procedure, which is characterised by an initial implementation of cohesive surfaces, a novel algorithmic approach is presented which allows an ...

Crack path selection in piezoelectric bimaterials
Composite Structures, 1999Abstract The problem of crack path selection in piezoelectric bimaterials is considered in this paper. Based on the Stroh formulation for anisotropic material and Green’s functions for piezoelectric bimaterials, the crack problem is expressed in terms of coupled singular integral equations at first, and then the equations are used to solve for stress
