Critical length parameter of HDPE and its use in fatigue lifetime predictions
The contribution describes the fatigue lifetime predictions of polyethylene notched specimens based on the theory of critical distance. The approach uses the line method, which averages the axial stress over the critical distance.

Inverse Ising inference, hyperuniformity and absorbing states in the Manna model [PDF]
Using inverse Ising inference we show that the absorbing states of the one-dimensional Manna model can be described by an equilibrium model with an emergent interaction displaying short-ranged repulsion and long-ranged attraction. As the model approaches

Applications of the theory of critical distances in failure analysis [PDF]
Abstract The Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) is the name which I use to describe a group of methods employed for the prediction of failure in cases where stress concentrations are present and where the failure mode involves cracking, such as fatigue and brittle fracture. Some of these methods are more than 50 years old, some very recent.

The fractal structure of the universe : a new field theory approach [PDF]
While the universe becomes more and more homogeneous at large scales, statistical analysis of galaxy catalogs have revealed a fractal structure at small-scales (\lambda < 100 h^{-1} Mpc), with a fractal dimension D=1.5-2 (Sylos Labini et al 1996).

The Theory of Critical Distances applied to multiscale toughening mechanisms [PDF]
Abstract The Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) is an approach used for predicting the effect of cracks and notches on fracture and fatigue behaviour. In recent years it has been successfully applied to a wide range of problems across all classes of materials.

Estimation of fretting fatigue life using a multiaxial stress-based critical distance methodology [PDF]
This work presents a methodology for life estimation of mechanical couplings subjected to fretting fatigue. In this approach, a stress-based multiaxial fatigue parameter is evaluated at a critical distance below the contact surface.

Generalization of the theory of critical distance to estimate lifetime of notched components in the medium-cycle fatigue regime [PDF]
This paper proposes a new and improved way to determine the dependency of the parameter that characterizes the process zone size ∫ with fatigue life Nf. Thus, unlike the classical approach, this approach has the advantage of allowing the construction of ...

THEORY OF CRITICAL DISTANCES AND THE THICKNESS OF THE SURFACE LAYER
The theory of critical distances is based on the strength of materials L, which is given by its strength properties KIc and σ0. We have shown that the thickness of the surface layer R(I) is equal to the nanocrack length Lnm. We have shown that there is a relationship between L and Lnm: L = 104 Lnm = 104 R(I) ≈ 10-5 М/ρ.
