Quantized fracture mechanics [PDF]
Philosophical Magazine, 2004 A new energy-based theory, quantized fracture mechanics (QFM), is presented that modifies continuum-based fracture mechanics; stress- and strain-based QFM analogs are also proposed. The differentials in Griffith's criterion are substituted with finite differences; the implications are remarkable.

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1961 1. Linear fractures of the shaft of the long bones are divided into four basic types: 1) transverse; 2) oblique transverse; 3) spiral; and 4) oblique. 2. The mode of production of these fractures is deduced on the grounds of simple mechanical theory: 1) transverse fractures are a result of angulation; 2) oblique transyerse are the result of ...

Mechanisms of femoral fracture [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 1980 Abstract Mechanisms of femoral fracture of the condyles and shaft were experimentally investigated through controlled knee impact of denuded femurs in six human cadavers. High-speed movies recorded knee joint compression, femoral displacements and deformation, and fracture initiation.

Dental Materials, 1995 The principles of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) were developed in the 1950s by George Irwin (1957). This work was based on previous investigations of Griffith (1920) and Orowan (1944). Irwin (1957) demonstrated that a crack shape in a particular location with respect to the loading geometry had a stress intensity associated with it.

Fracture Mechanics of Plate Debonding [PDF]
Journal of Composites for Construction, 2008 This paper presents a fracture mechanics model to determine the load at which FRP plates will debond from reinforced concrete beams. This will obviate the need for finite-element analyses to be used in situations where there is an infinite stress concentration and where the exact details of the interface geometry and properties are unknowable.

Renormalizations in solid and fracture mechanics [PDF]
Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures, 2008 We show how some inconstencies and infinities arising in solid and fracture mechanics can be avoided by renormalization techniques widely used in theoretical physics. Some examples, already known in solid mechanics or recently discovered in fracture mechanics, are given as illustration.

Rock Fracture Mechanics and Fracture Criteria
This open access book delves into the realms of geotechnical engineering and solid mechanics. In order to establish fracture parameters that are both relevant and conducive to safety, the book extensively investigates the fracture mechanical properties of mode I, mode II, and mode III in brittle rock materials.
