Effect of hydration and crack orientation on crack-tip strain, crack opening displacement and crack-tip shielding in elephant dentin

open access: yesDental Materials, 2018
To quantify the extent of crack-tip plasticity, crack opening displacement (COD) and crack bridging for crack growth perpendicular (HAH) and parallel (RAR) to the tubules in elephant dentin under both hydrated and dry conditions to better understand their influence on intrinsic and extrinsic toughening during crack growth.Compact tension test-pieces ...

Assessment of crack tip plastic zone size and shape and its influence on crack tip shielding [PDF]

open access: yesFatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures, 2016
AbstractThis paper presents a novel methodology for the experimental quantification of the crack tip plastic zone during fatigue crack growth. It is based on the application of yielding criteria to estimate the area and shape of the crack tip plastic zone using both the von Mises and Tresca yield criteria.

Maximal Crack Tip Shielding by Microcracking

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1989
It is shown here that the shielding effect of a distribution of microcracks, i.e., the extent to which they alleviate the severity of a near-tip singular field, is maximized when the microcracks develop normal to the direction of maximum tension. In passing, we derive mode I asymptotic solutions for a class of anisotropic damage models.

On the Crack Tip Shielding in Particle Reinforced Composites

Materials Science Forum, 2005
The paper is focused on crack-tip shielding effects caused by crack deflection (tilting) processes in particle reinforced composites. A numerical analysis by means of the ANSYS code was employed in order to assess these effects caused by rigid particles and holes in the matrix.

A numerical and experimental study of crack tip shielding in presence of overloads

Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2010
Abstract The mechanism underlying plasticity-induced shielding of a crack tip under fatigue loading has been already experimentally investigated by means of photoelasticity using a recently-developed mathematical model which considers stress field near the crack tip and along the flanks.

Dislocation crack tip shielding and the Paris exponent

Materials Science & Engineering A: Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing, 2007
Abstract In a previous paper we considered how the crack blunting dislocation emission mechanism likely leads to a Paris fatigue crack growth rate law exponent n = 2 if dislocation shielding is not important and showed how dislocation crack tip shielding can cause a reduction in the fatigue crack growth rate and showed qualitatively how it ...

Atomic-Scale Mechanism of Crack-Tip Plasticity: Dislocation Nucleation and Crack-Tip Shielding

Physical Review Letters, 1997
By isolating the process of dislocation emission from a crack tip under an applied tensile stress, we extract from a molecular dynamics simulation the atomic-level displacement and stress fields on the activated slip plane before and after the nucleation event.
