Energy release rate of symmetric adhesive joints
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 1992Abstract A formula is derived for the mixed mode energy release rate of adhesive joints in terms of local stress concentrations σmax and τmax determined by beam theory. The formula G= 1 2 t E′ a σ 2 max 1 2 t G a τ 2 max is equivalent to a similar expression from two-dimensional elasticity ...

Energy Release Rates in a Fiber-Reinforced Strip
Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1987This paper discusses Mode I fracture of a semi-infinite crack in a strip of fiber-reinforced material. The crack is opened by point forces applied to the crack faces. The problem is solved using two models for fiber reinforcement; these models are known as the inextensible and idealized theories and are both based on simplification of the equations of ...

On the Evaluation of the Energy Release Rate in Edge Cracked Beams
Recent Patents on Mechanical Engineeringe, 2011In recent years, significant patents have been devoted to developing non-destructive techniques for damage identification in structures. A crack in a structural member induces a local flexibility which affects the dynamic and static behavior of the whole structure.

Energy-Release Rate in Elastic-Plastic Fracture Problems
Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1981It is shown that the energy-release rates associated with the translation, rotation, self-similar expansion and distortion of the fracture process region are expressed by the newly introduced integrals, Jˆ, Lˆ, Mˆ, and Iˆ. These integrals can be defined even if there exist plastic deformation, thermal strains, body forces, and inertia forces.

A theory for the mixed energy release rate
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 1985Abstract In this paper a review of three mixed energy release rate criteria, which were suggested by Hussain et al., Tract. Anal. ASTM560, 2–28 (1974), Nuismer, Int. J. Fract.11, 245–255 (1975) and Wang, Fracture 1977, Vol. 4, pp. 135–154, University of Waterloo (1977), respectively, is made.

Energy release rate of dynamic delamination
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 1994Abstract The energy release rate of dynamic delamination of plates is derived. The expression is given in terms of jumps of the mechanical fields near the delamination front, and is essentially a form of dynamic energy momentum. Non-linear kinematics of von Karman plate theory are used, together with non-linear elastic material response.

General expressions for energy–release rates for delamination in composite laminates
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2002This paper deals with the delamination in composite laminates based on the authors' sublaminate model. General expressions for total energy-release rate and for its individual components are derived for multiple delaminations on different interfaces.

On the Energy Release Rate in Finite–Strain Elasticity
Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures, 2008Griffith's fracture criterion describes in a quasistatic setting whether or not a pre-existing crack in an elastic body is stationary for given external forces. This fracture criterion can be reformulated in terms of the the energy release rate (ERR), which is the derivative of the deformation energy of the body with respect to a virtual crack ...

Analysis of energy release rate for cracked laminates
Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 1995The aim is to prove the existence of energy release rate components for cracks between two fairly general anisotropic media. A relationship between the energy release rate components and stress intensity factor is discussed. Classical plate theory is used to obtain the expressions for the energy release rate components.
