Distinguishing the Effects of Stress Intensity and Stress Duration in Plant Responses to Salinity
Species-specific variation in response to stress is a key driver of ecological patterns. As climate change alters stress regimes, coastal plants are experiencing intensifying salinity stress due to sea-level rise and more intense storms.

Fatigue Crack Growth in Complex Stress Fields [PDF]
Fatigue crack growth has been traditionally modelled using LEFM through the use of the Paris law. This requires an accurate method for stress intensity factor (K) calculation. Weight functions have been developed for one-dimensional cracks (e.g.

Fracture mechanics approach to design analysis of notches, steps and internal cut-outs in planar components [PDF]
A new approach to the assessment and optimization of geometric stress-concentrating features is proposed on the basis of the correspondence between sharp crack or corner stressfield intensity factors and conventional elastic stress concentration factors (

A novel weight function for RMS stress intensity factor determination in surface cracks [PDF]
This paper discusses the problem of stress intensity factor determination in surface cracks. In particular, the concept of root mean square stress intensity factors (RMS SIF) is discussed for the general class of semi-elliptical surface cracks.

Stress intensity factors computation for bending plates with extended finite element method [PDF]
The modelization of bending plates with through-the-thickness cracks is investigated. We consider the Kirchhoff–Love plate model, which is valid for very thin plates.

A modelling technique for calculating stress intensity factors for structures reinforced by bonded straps. Part I: Mechanisms and formulation [PDF]
This paper describes a 2D FE modelling technique for predicting fatigue crack growth life of integral structures reinforced by bonded straps. This kind of design offers a solution to the intrinsic lack of damage tolerance of integral structures.
