A Fatigue Failure Criterion for Notched FRP Plates.

Proposals for a Failure Criterion Applicable to Discontinuous Rocks

The existing failure criteria to evaluate discontinuous rocks are predominatly based on the relations between principal stresses at failure. None of the criteria has a direct reference to the magnitude of deformation as a major parameter in rock Several reasons are identified indicating that the selection of peak stress as a major parameter, which is obtained through the evaluation of a failure...

New empirical failure criterion for shale

A new failure criterion was presented to predict the ultimate strength of shale under the triaxial and polyaxial state of stress. A database containing 93 datasets was obtained from the results of the uniaxial, triaxial, polyaxial compressive tests, an indirect tensile test was collected from reliable references, and this test was carried out on the shale samples taken from the southwestern oil...

Fatigue crack initiation in a notched single-crystal superalloy component

In this paper, the fatigue crack initiation in notched single-crystal test specimens of material MD2 is investigated and analysed. A critical plane approach is adopted, in which the total strain ranges on the discrete slip planes are evaluated. Furthermore, a Coffin-Manson type of expression is used to describe the number of cycles to fatigue crack initiation. This relation is determined from a...

A Review on Strengthening Steel Beams Using FRP under Fatigue

In recent decades, the application of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for strengthening structural elements has become an efficient option to meet the increased cyclic loads or repair due to corrosion or fatigue cracking. Hence, the objective of this study is to explore the existing FRP reinforcing techniques to care for fatigue damaged structural steel elements. This study covers the...
