Slow crack growth in polycarbonate films [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We study experimentally the slow growth of a single crack in polycarbonate films submitted to uniaxial and constant imposed stress. The specificity of fracture in polycarbonate films is the appearance of flame shaped macroscopic process zones at the tips

Mechanical analysis of a shear-cracked RC beam

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Technology, 2017
Shear crack analysis is essential for engineers to estimate repair work in concrete structures. So far, conventional theoretical and numerical analyses in fracture mechanics have been applied to study concrete flexural beams, but there is still little ...

Experimental Study on the Effect of Bedding on the Fracture Process Zone of Shale

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
The conventional fracture in shale hydraulic fracturing belongs to the type-I fracture, and the size of the fracture process zone (FPZ) is an important index to measure the fracability of rock mass.

Role of disorder in the size-scaling of material strength [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study the sample size dependence of the strength of disordered materials with a flaw, by numerical simulations of lattice models for fracture. We find a crossover between a regime controlled by the fluctuations due to disorder and another controlled ...

Effect of Aluminized Modified PS - PVD 7YSZ Thermal Barrier Coating on the Mechanical Properties of DZ125 Alloy [PDF]

open access: yesCailiao Baohu, 2022
Plasma spraying-physical vapor deposition(PS-PVD) process was applied to prepare aluminized modified thermal barrier coatings(TBCs) on the DZ125 superalloy substrate.

Scaling exponents for fracture surfaces in homogenous glass and glassy ceramics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We investigate the scaling properties of post-mortem fracture surfaces in silica glass and glassy ceramics. In both cases, the 2D height-height correlation function is found to obey Family-Viseck scaling properties, but with two sets of critical ...

Modelling of the Influence of Tensile Test Speed on the Fracture Load

open access: yesASM Science Journal, 2019
This investigation focuses on modelling the fracture zone of four materials at different test speeds. The influence of these test speeds on the fracture zone formula was investigated as well.

Modeling water penetration at dam-foundation joint [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
When fracture occurs in a concrete dam, the crack mouth is typically exposed to water. Very often this phenomenon occurs at the dam-foundation joint and is driven also by the fluid pressure inside the crack.

Dynamic nucleation as a cascade-up of earthquakes depending on rupture propagation velocity

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
Earthquake dynamic rupture requires a nucleation process to provide sufficient energy to overcome the fracture energy. Large earthquakes may occur via a cascading rupture process, which includes many triggering processes that cascade from small to large ...

Creep and Fracture in Concrete: A Fractional Order Rate Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The paper analyses the interaction between strain-softening and time-dependent behaviour in the case of quasi-static fracture of concrete. A viscous element based on a fractional order rate law is coupled with a micromecanical model for the fracture ...
