Influence of geometry, elasticity properties and boundary conditions on the Mode I purity in sandwich composites [PDF]
The present work addresses the problem of skin/core debonding in sandwich materials. The main goal is to carry out parametric analyses for studying the influence of various materials, geometrical parameters and boundary conditions of sandwich fracture ...

Brittle Failure of Nanoscale Notched Silicon Cantilevers: A Finite Fracture Mechanics Approach
The present paper focuses on the Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM) approach and verifies its applicability at the nanoscale. After the presentation of the analytical frame, the approach is verified against experimental data already published in the ...

X-FEM in isogeometric analysis for linear fracture mechanics [PDF]
The extended finite element method (X-FEM) has proven to be an accurate, robust method for solving problems in fracture mechanics. X-FEM has typically been used with elements using linear basis functions, although some work has been performed using ...

The effects of residual stress on elastic-plastic fracture propagation and stability
Residual stresses in materials affect their resistance to the initiation of fracture and to subsequent crack growth. Using full-field strain measurements and finite element analysis we demonstrate that the effect of residual stress on a material's crack ...

Finite Fracture Mechanics and Cohesive Crack Model_Size effects through a unified formulation
Finite Fracture Mechanics and Cohesive Crack Model can effectively predict the strength of plain, cracked or notched structural components, overcoming the classical drawbacks of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics. Aim of the present work is to investigate

Cracked finite elements proposed for NASTRAN [PDF]
The recent introduction of special crack-tip singularity elements, usually referred to as cracked elements, has brought the power and flexibility of the finite-element method to bear much more effectively on fracture mechanics problems.

Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for

From finite to linear elastic fracture mechanics by scaling [PDF]
The authors describe the asymptotic behaviour of the propagation of a crack in a 2D brittle material. Let \(\Omega \) be a bounded, open and connected domain in \(\mathbb{R}^{2}\) whose Lipschitz boundary \(\partial \Omega \) may be decomposed as the disjoint union \(\partial _{D}(\Omega )\cup \partial _{N}(\Omega )\), with positive Hausdorff measure \(
