Report on Phase 2.3, Investigation of Welded Highway Bridges. Project IHR-64 [PDF]
The object of this investigation was to study the effect of internal flaws on the fatigue behavior of butt-welded connections in mild structural steel, the initiation of fatigue cracks from these flaws and the propagation rates of these cracks in the ...

Crack propagation in non-homogenous materials: Evaluation of mixed-mode SIFs, T-stress and kinking angle using a variant EFG method [PDF]
A new variant of the Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method, that combines the diffraction method, to characterize the crack tip solution, and the Heaviside enrichment function for representing discontinuity due to a crack, has been used to model crack ...

Crackling noise in three-point bending of heterogeneous materials [PDF]
We study the crackling noise emerging during single crack propagation in a specimen under three-point bending conditions. Computer simulations are carried out in the framework of a discrete element model where the specimen is discretized in terms of ...

Nonuniformly Loaded Stack of Antiplane Shear Cracks in One-Dimensional Piezoelectric Quasicrystals
Representations in a closed form are derived, using an extension to the method of dislocation layers, for the phonon and phason stress and electric displacement components in the deformation of one-dimensional piezoelectric quasicrystals by a ...

On the Mechanistic Origins of Toughness in Bone [PDF]
One of the most intriguing protein materials found in nature is bone, a material composed of assemblies of tropocollagen molecules and tiny hydroxyapatite mineral crystals that form an extremely tough, yet lightweight, adaptive and multifunctional ...

Flux focusing eddy current probe [PDF]
A flux-focusing electromagnetic sensor which uses a ferromagnetic flux-focusing lens simplifies inspections and increases detectability of fatigue cracks and material loss in high conductivity material.

Near-threshold fatigue propagation of physically through-thickness short and long cracks in a low alloy steel [PDF]
International audienceIn this paper, the near-threshold fatigue behavior of physically through-thickness short cracks and of long cracks in a low alloy steel is investigated by experiments in ambient air. Physically through-thickness short fatigue cracks

Quasicontinuum simulation of fracture at the atomic scale [PDF]
We study the problem of atomic scale fracture using the recently developed quasicontinuum method in which there is a systematic thinning of the atomic-level degrees of freedom in regions where they are not needed.

Investigation of Atmospheric Moisture during Heat Treatment of Glass Fibres
The tensile strength of single water-sized E-glass fibres that were thermally conditioned, either in air or under vacuum, was investigated. The vacuum removed water from the conditioning atmosphere, as well as the fibre surfaces, at room temperature but ...
