Mixed-mode fatigue crack growth using cohesive zone modeling
Abstract In order to capture nonlinear crack tip behavior and account for mixed-mode fatigue crack growth, a cohesive zone based fatigue crack growth model is proposed in conjunction with the Park-Paulino-Roesler (PPR) traction-separation relationship.

Mode I+II Fatigue Crack Growth Delay by Stop-Holes
The technique of retarding the growth of fatigue cracks by drilling holes on the crack tip is well known. Most of the research works on this subject are limited to fatigue cracks subjected to mode I loading conditions.

Experimental and analytical study of cracks under biaxial fatigue [PDF]
Most mechanical components experience multi-axial cyclic loading conditions during service. Experimental analysis of fatigue cracks under such conditions is not easy and most works tend to focus more on the simpler but less realistic case of uni-axial ...

A Benchmark Example for Delamination Growth Predictions Based on the Single Leg Bending Specimen Under Fatigue Loading [PDF]
Analysis benchmarking is used to evaluate new algorithms for automated VCCT-based delamination growth analysis. First, existing benchmark cas s based on the Single Leg Bending (SLB) specimen for crack propagation prediction under quasi-static loading are

Influence of Mixed Mode I-Mode II Loading on Fatigue Delamination Growth Characteristics of a Graphite Epoxy Tape Laminate [PDF]
Mixed mode I-mode II interlaminar tests were conducted on IM7/8552 tape laminates using the mixed-mode bending test. Three mixed mode ratios, G(sub II)/G(sub T) = 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8, were considered.

Modeling Delamination in Postbuckled Composite Structures Under Static and Fatigue Loads [PDF]
The ability of the Abaqus progressive Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT) to model delamination in composite structures was investigated for static, postbuckling, and fatigue loads. Preliminary evaluations were performed using simple Double Cantilever

The fracture morphology of nickel-base superalloys tested in fatigue and creep-fatigue at 650 C [PDF]
The fracture surfaces of compact tension specimens from seven nickel-base superalloys fatigue tested at 650 C were studied by scanning electron microscopy and optical metallography to determine the nature and morphology of the crack surface in the region

Fatigue delamination behaviour of unidirectional carbon fibre/epoxy laminates reinforced by Z-Fiber® pinnin [PDF]
-Pin reinforced carbon-fibre epoxy laminates were tested under Mode I and Mode II conditions, both quasi-statically and in fatigue. Test procedures were adapted from existing standard or pre-standard tests. Samples containing 2% and 4% areal densities
