The cohesive frictional crack model applied to the analysis of the dam-foundation joint [PDF]
The mechanical behaviour of dam-foundation joints plays a key role in concrete dam engineering since it is the weakest part of the structure and therefore the evolutionary crack process occurring along this joint determines the global load-bearing ...

Strain-gradient effect on the crack tip dislocations density
In this study, the influence of a material’s plastic properties on the crack tip fields and dislocation density behavior is analytically and numerically analyzed using the conventional mechanism-based strain-gradient plasticity (CMSGP) theory established

Dynamic Strain Evolution around a Crack Tip under Steady- and Overloaded-Fatigue Conditions
We investigated the evolution of the strain fields around a fatigued crack tip between the steady- and overloaded-fatigue conditions using a nondestructive neutron diffraction technique.

Crack-tip models by Irwin and Dugdale for hydroxyl-damaged crack-tip zones
Due to the hydroxyl generation, the silica network ahead of crack tips is damaged. The consequence is a damaged crack-tip zone showing a reduced Young’s modulus. The linear-elastic fracture mechanical treatment by application of stress intensity factors becomes doubtful especially for large zones.

Fatigue crack growth in thin notched woven glass composites under tensile loading. Part II: modelling [PDF]
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 ...

The influence of crack tip shielding on fatigue crack propagation [PDF]
The fatigue crack propagation is one of the major problems and of the real concern in the evaluation of the structural integrity of components. This is due to the fact that once a fatigue crack has been detected it is also known its effect on the ...
