Fatigue Failure Criterion for Notched FRP Plates

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...

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...

Thermomechanical Fatigue Life Prediction of Notched

Prediction of Fatigue Life in Notched Specimens Using Multiaxial Fatigue Criteria

In this research, the effects of notch shape on the fatigue strength of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy notched specimens have been studied using experimental and multiaxial fatigue analysis. For this purpose, four set of specimens with different notch shape were prepared and then fatigue tests were carried out at various cyclic longitudinal load levels. Load controlled fatigue tests of mentioned specim...

Static and Fatigue Behavior Investigation of Artificial Notched Steel Reinforcement

Pitting corrosion is one of the most common forms of localized corrosion. Corrosion pit results in a stress concentration and fatigue cracks usually initiate and propagate from these corrosion pits. Aging structures may fracture when the fatigue crack reaches a critical size. This paper experimentally simulates the effects of pitting morphologies on the static and fatigue behavior of steel bars...
