Size effect on flexural strength of notched and un-notched concrete and rock specimens by Finite Fracture Mechanics [PDF]
Size effect in quasi-brittle material cannot be described simply by Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics, which moreover is limited to cracked geometries. In the present paper we apply Finite Fracture Mechanics to determine the size effect on the flexural ...

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 ...
