Numerical and experimental investigation of mixed‐mode crack growth in aluminum alloys

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 45, Issue 10, Page 2854-2872, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Fatigue crack growth in Al 2024 and Al 7050 specimens was assessed experimentally and numerically. In the experimental investigation, various specimen configurations and loading conditions were used to achieve pure mode I, pure mode II, and mixed mode I/II, I/III, and I/II/III.

Three‐Dimensional Stress Intensity Factor Correction Method Based on Thickness Size Effect

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
This paper presents the fatigue crack growth test of 7N01 aluminum alloy specimens with different thicknesses under three‐point bending. Moreover, the effect of specimen thickness on the fatigue crack growth life was analyzed. The influence mechanism of the thickness size effect on the stress intensity factor was explored.

An Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Initiation and Interaction of Double Cracks in Rocks under Hydromechanical Coupling

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
The growth of double cracks is the main factor leading to progressive rock failure under hydromechanical coupling. The initiation modes and interaction behaviors of double cracks were investigated by using laboratory tests, and the influences of water pressure were analyzed.

Numerical Simulation of Fracture Behavior of Brittle Solids under I/III Loading

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
This study used numerical analysis to carry out a large number of numerical model calculations based on a new semicircular bend (SCB) model. Instead of existing numerical computation methods (J‐integral), the M‐integral method was used to calculate the mixed mode fracture parameters (KI, KII, and KIII), investigate the influence of the geometry and ...
