Fracture process zone modeling of monolithic Al2O3
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 1999Abstract The crack tip displacement fields obtained from moire interferometry were used interactively to drive a finite element (FE) model of double cantilever beam (DCB), alumina specimens subjected to stable crack growth. Through this inverse analysis, the crack-closure stress (CCS) distribution which provided the best fit between the measured and ...

Experimental determination of the fracture process zone in concrete
Cement and Concrete Research, 1983Abstract The determination of the fracture process zone in concrete is a difficult experimental problem, because the resulting deformation is strongly localized and cannot be measured adequately by strain-gages or coarse moire techniques. The preliminary results of an experimental study of the strain field in notched and unnotched specimens indicate ...

Fracture Mechanics Parameters and Fracture Process Zone of Concrete
1987The initiation and propagation of a continuous crack in concrete occurs after the formation at the crack front of a fracture process zone the size of which is not negligible compared to structural dimensions. The results of experimental observations are reported and proposed techniques for the analysis of crack propagation in concrete through nonlinear

A micromechanical model for the fracture process zone in ferroelectrics
Computational Materials Science, 2003Abstract Piezoelectric and ferroelectric ceramics find an application as actuators, sensors or ultrasonic transducers in many fields of technology. Because of their brittleness, problems of strength and reliability have to be major subjects of investigation. In general, the ceramic material is exposed to combined electromechanical loading conditions.

Experimental methods for determining fracture process zone and fracture parameters
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 1990Abstract For quasi-brittle materials like concrete, rock and ceramic it is not possible to determine fracture toughness using laboratory-sized specimens and linear elastic fracture mechanics. This inapplicability of the conventional fracture mechanics is due to fracture process zone, R- curve type of behavior and precritical stable crack ...

Strain Field Measurement in Fracture Process Zone
Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1990Center‐notched mortar plate specimens are loaded in tension. A multiple sensitivity vector holographic setup is developed to record several deformation stages during the stable crack propagation range. The three‐sensitivity vector setup enables the calculation of both crack opening displacements and strain fields around the crack trajectories. An image

Fracture Process Zones in Polygranular Graphite in Bending
Key Engineering Materials, 2010The formation of fracture process zones in polygranular reactor core moderator graphites subjected to four-point bending has been investigated. The three-dimensional digital image correlation technique has been combined with resistance strain gauge measurements to evaluate, both the localised and the global displacements during testing.
