A cohesive model of fatigue crack growth
We investigate the use of cohesive theories of fracture, in conjunction with the explicit resolution of the near-tip plastic fields and the enforcement of closure as a contact constraint, for the purpose of fatiguelife prediction. An important characteristic of the cohesive laws considered here is that they exhibit unloadingreloading hysteresis. This feature has the important consequence of pre...
متن کاملFracture of a model cohesive granular material.
We study experimentally the fracture mechanisms of a model cohesive granular medium consisting of glass beads held together by solidified polymer bridges. The elastic response of this material can be controlled by changing the cross-linking of the polymer phase, for example. Here we show that its fracture toughness can be tuned over an order of magnitude by adjusting the stiffness and size of t...
متن کاملA phase-field model for cohesive fracture
In this paper a phase-field model for cohesive fracture is developed. After casting the cohesive zone approach in an energetic framework, which is suitable for incorporation in phase-field approaches, the phase-field approach to brittle fracture is recapitulated. The approximation to the Dirac function is discussed with particular emphasis on the Dirichlet boundary conditions that arise in the ...
متن کاملCohesive Finite Element Modeling of Mouse Bone Fracture
INTRODUCTION A fracture mechanics based approach has been recently proposed to measure the changes in fracture toughness of small animal bones due to aging, disease, and treatments for osteoporosis [1-3]. In contrast to standard strength tests, such tests require a smaller sample size [2] and provide a measure of material level changes [2,3]. Here we present a complementary computational approa...
متن کاملA Vanishing Viscosity Approach to Fracture Growth in a Cohesive Zone Model with Prescribed Crack Path
Abstract. The existence of crack evolutions based on critical points of the energy functional is proved, in the case of a cohesive zone model with prescribed crack path. It turns out that evolutions of this type satisfy a maximum stress criterion for the crack initiation. With an explicit example, it is shown that evolutions based on the absolute minimization of the energy functional do not enj...
