The crack kinking out of an interface [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2005
Kinking of a plane strain crack out of an interface between the two dissimilar isotropic elastic materials is analyzed. Analysis is focused on the initiation of kinking and thus the segment of the crack leaving the interface is imagined to be short ...

Fracture morphology and its evolution A review on crack path stability and brittle fracture along butt-weld [PDF]

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2015
Considerations are made for the fracture morphology and its evolution in relation to the brittle fracture along butt-weld, where crack path stability may play important roles in various aspects. Analyses of a kinked and curved crack are first reviewed in

Numerical Modeling of Plasticity-Induced Fatigue Crack Growth Retardation Due to Deflection in the Near-Tip Area

open access: yesMetals, 2021
This article studies the retardation effect in plasticity-induced fatigue crack growth rate for a low-medium strength steel, due to the appearance of microdeflections in the crack path.

On a kinked crack model to describe the influence of material microstructure on fatigue crack growth [PDF]

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2013
Threshold condition and rate of fatigue crack growth in both short and long crack regime appear to be significantly affected by the degree of crack deflection.

Two-parameter fracture model for cortical bone [PDF]

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2016
The analysis of the bone fracture behaviour is fundamental for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of traumas. In the present paper, an experimental analysis of the fracture behaviour of a bovine femoral cortical bone is carried out, where specimens are ...

Growth of inclined fatigue cracks using the biaxial CJP model [PDF]

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2015
The CJP model of crack tip stresses is a modified version of the Williams crack tip stress field which takes account of simplified stress distributions that arise from the presence of a zone of plastic deformation associated with the crack flanks and ...

Modulating fracture toughness through processing-mediated mesostructure in additively manufactured Al-12Si alloy

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2022
Al-12Si alloy processed through additive manufacturing exhibits a complex hierarchical structure. At the mesoscale, its melt pool boundaries constitute a network of weak interfaces that provides preferred pathways for crack kinking, leading to both ...

Characterization of Surface Fatigue Crack Nucleation and Microstructurally Small Crack Growth in High Strength Aluminum Alloys

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2021
It is well established that fatigue crack nucleation and small crack growth in high strength aluminum alloys are highly influenced by the surrounding microstructure including grain boundaries, texture, inclusion barriers, among other factors.

Crack propagation in a brittle DCB specimen assessed by means of the Williams� power expansion

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2019
A double cantilever beam geometry has been chosen in order to investigate the importance of the higher-order terms of the Williams power expansion for the crack path estimation.
