A three-dimensional multiscale model of intergranular hydrogen-assisted cracking [PDF]
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

Rail fatigue crack propagation in high-speed wheel/rail rolling contact
To study the wheel/rail rolling contact fatigue of high-speed trains, we obtain the distribution of contact forces between wheel and rail by introducing the strain-rate effect.

Supersonic crack propagation in a class of lattice models of Mode III brittle fracture [PDF]
We study a lattice model for mode III crack propagation in brittle materials in a stripe geometry at constant applied stretching. Stiffening of the material at large deformation produces supersonic crack propagation.

Research on Fatigue Crack Propagation of 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel Based on XFEM and CZM
The fatigue crack propagation of 304 austenitic stainless steel was studied both by experiments and numerical simulations. Two methods were applied to simulate the crack propagation: the extended finite element method (XFEM) and the cohesive zone model ...

A Time-Integral Crack Propagation Model Considering Thickness Effect
The crack propagation mechanism of thick plates is difficult to describe accurately, and thus, it is difficult to predict the lifetimes of thick plate structural cracks in extreme construction environments.

Crack propagation in honeycomb cellular materials: a computational approach [PDF]
Computational models based on the finite element method and linear or nonlinear fracture mechanics are herein proposed to study the mechanical response of functionally designed cellular components. It is demonstrated that, via a suitable tailoring of the

Crack growth behaviour of aluminium wrought alloys in the Very High Cycle Fatigue regime [PDF]
Investigations have shown that in the regime of Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF) “natural” crack initiation often takes place underneath the material surface leading to crack propagation without contact to atmospheric components.

INFLUENCE OF MATERIAL PARAMETER MISMATCH ON CRACK PROPAGATION IN COMPOSITE LAMINATES
The propagation path of cracks perpendicular to the interface of composite laminates usually takes many forms. By analyzing the stress field of crack tip during crack propagation, the driving force of crack tip is determined, in this way, the crack ...

A predictive fatigue life model for anodized 7050 aluminium alloy [PDF]
The objective of this study is to predict fatigue life of anodized 7050 aluminum alloy specimens. In the case of anodized 7050-T7451 alloy, fractographic observations of fatigue tested specimens showed that pickling pits were the predominant sites for ...
