Nanoscale Fracture Mechanics

Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2007
Theoretical calculations on undefected nanoscale materials predict impressive mechanical properties. In this review we summarize the status of experimental efforts to directly measure the fracture strengths of inorganic and carbon nanotubes and discuss possible explanations for the deviations between the predicted and observed values.

Quantum Fracture Mechanics

Strength of Materials, 1989
Quantum fracture mechanics (QFM) is proposed by the author as a purely theoretical alternative of the generally accepted experimental-theoretical approach to fracture physics. The main concepts of theory and formulation of several main problems are examined.

Fracture and Fracture Mechanics

1981
Griffith was the first to offer an explanation for brittle fracture. He postulated that in a brittle material, cracks propagate when the released strain energy is just sufficient to provide the surface energy for the creation of new surfaces. That is elastic strain energy per unit volume = σ2/2E, where σ = stress applied perpendicular to the crack, E =

Fracture Mechanics

2010
Fracture and 'slow' crack growth reflect the response of a material (i.e. its microstructure) to the conjoint actions of mechanical and chemical driving forces and are affected by temperature. There is therefore a need for quantitative understanding and modeling of the influences of chemical and thermal environments and of microstructure, in terms of ...

Fracture Mechanics

2013
Abstract Fracture mechanics is a well-developed quantitative approach to the study of failures. This chapter discusses fracture toughness and fracture mechanics, linear-elastic fracture mechanics, and modes of loading. The discussion also covers plane strain and stress and crack growth kinetics.

Fracture Mechanics

Applied Mechanics Reviews, 1985
Fracture mechanics is an active research field that is currently advancing on many fronts. This appraisal of research trends and opportunities notes the promising developments of nonlinear fracture mechanics in recent years and cites some of the challenges in dealing with topics such as ductile-brittle transitions, failure under substantial plasticity ...
