Numerical Modeling For Fracture Mechanics Problems Using The Open-source Fenics Platform

open access: yesLatin-American Journal of Computing
Fracture mechanics is the mechanical approach to fracture processes, which emerged due to limitations in the application of traditional concepts of Mechanics of Materials to predict the behavior of cracked materials.

Determination of Fatigue Crack Size in High-Strength Bolting Assemblies Using Hydrogen-Induced Cracking

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings
For the validation of approaches like fracture mechanics used for the description of crack propagation in high-strength bolting assemblies, it is often necessary to determine the size of an existing crack in the tested assembly.

Some remarks on the damage unilateral effect modelling for microcracked materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This study deals with the macroscopic modelling of the mechanical behaviour of microcracked materials and particularly with the unilateral aspect of such damage which leads, at the closure of microcracks, to a partial damage deactivation.

Surface layer stiffness effects on fracture of polymer multilayers: a linear elastic model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A tough thermoplastic polymer may show a transition to brittle behaviour when a skin of different properties forms on, or is painted or bonded onto, its free surfaces.

Experimental Characterization of Mycelium‐Based Composites Under Multiple Loading Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines the mechanical response of mycelium‐based composites under compression, shear, and tension using mechanical testing and imaging methods. The comparison between unpressed and hot‐pressed specimens shows that hot pressing is associated with higher compression and shear stiffnesses.

Definition and application of a cohesive crack model allowing improved prediction of the flexural capacity of high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete pavement materials

open access: yesJournal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineers, 2012
In conventional concrete pavement design methods the design parameters are determined using linear elastic analysis. Concrete is subject to significant size effect and as a result linear elastic design concepts, such as the modulus of rupture determined ...

Quantitative Acoustic Emission Fatigue Crack Characterization in Structural Steel and Weld

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2013
The fatigue crack growth characteristics of structural steel and weld connections are analyzed using quantitative acoustic emission (AE) technique. This was experimentally investigated by three-point bending testing of specimens under low cycle constant ...

Towards gigantic RVE sizes for 3D stochastic fibrous networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The size of representative volume element (RVE) for 3D stochastic fibrous media is investigated. A statistical RVE size determination method is applied to a specific model of random microstructure: Poisson fibers. The definition of RVE size is related to

Compatibility of Methacrylate Based Resins Controls Interfacial Failure and Toughness in 3D‐Printed Multimaterial Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work shows that the mechanical performance of multimaterial digital light processing (DLP) printed thermoset composites is governed by resin compatibility and interfacial design rather than spatial patterning alone. Brittle and ductile resin combinations produced premature interfacial failure, while graded interfaces and mechanically compatible ...
