A numerical study of crack shielding and deflection under extensive plasticity [PDF]
Experimentally observed crack deflection events in multi-layered material systems, occurring even under pure mode-I loading, are here simulated and explained through elasto-plastic finite element modelling.

Non-Schmid Effect on the Fracture Behavior of Tungsten
The fracture process of tungsten is dominated by the competition mechanism between the plastic deformation and the crack propagation near the crack tip. The non-Schmid (NS) effect, which considers the contribution of non-planar shear stress on the screw ...

Fatigue crack shielding in plain bearings under large scale yielding
Multi-layered bearing systems used in the automotive industry show shielding and antishielding effects that reduce or amplify the crack driving force under large-scale yielding conditions. Using finite element analysis, it is shown that shielding in such
