Buoyancy-driven crack propagation: the limit of large fracture toughness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study steady vertical propagation of a crack filled with buoyant viscous fluid through an elastic solid with large effective fracture toughness. For a crack fed by a constant flux Q, a non-dimensional fracture toughness K=Kc/(3μQm3/2)1/4 describes the

Experimental and Theoretical Determination of the Frost-Heave Cracking Law and the Crack Propagation Criterion of Slab Track with Water in the Crack

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
Crack propagation produced by frost heave affects the durability of slab-track structures in high-humidity and cold regions in China. This work is intended to reveal the evolution laws of frost-heave crack propagation, establish evaluation criteria for ...

Introduction of a fretting-fatigue mapping concept: Development of a dual crack nucleation - crack propagation approach to formalize fretting-fatigue damage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Fretting-fatigue induced by combined localized cyclic contact motion and external bulk fatigue loadings may result in premature and dramatic failure of the contacting components.

Prediction of fatigue crack growth using convolutional neural network (2nd Report, Prediction of crack propagation on different levels)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2023
In this paper, the prediction of crack propagation with two cracks using machine learning is described. The analysis results of crack propagation by s-version FEM (s-FEM), which combines the automatic mesh generation technique, are used for generation of

Quasi-static crack propagation by Griffith's criterion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We consider the propagation of a crack in a brittle material along a prescribed crack path and define a quasi-static evolution by means of stationary points of the free energy. We show that this evolution satisfies Griffith's criterion in a suitable form

Rock Dynamic Crack Propagation under Different Loading Rates Using Improved Single Cleavage Semi-Circle Specimen

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
The objective of this paper is to investigate the complete process of dynamic crack propagation in brittle materials under different loading rates. By using Improved Single Cleavage Semi-Circle (ISCSC) specimens and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar equipment,

Peridynamics for Fracture Analysis of Reflective Cracks in Semi-Rigid Base Asphalt Pavement

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Reflective cracking is one of the major forms of deterioration in semi-rigid base asphalt pavements. It is, therefore, very important to have a correct understanding of the internal crack propagation mechanism of asphalt pavement to propose the most ...

Crack propagation in viscoelastic solids [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2005
We study crack propagation in a viscoelastic solid. Using simple arguments, we derive equations for the velocity dependence of the crack-tip radius, a (v) , and for the energy per unit area to propagate the crack, G (v) . For a viscoelastic modulus E (omega) which increases as omega(1-s) (0< s< 1) in the transition region between the rubbery region and
