Griffith Cracks in the Mesoscopic Microcrack Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mesoscopic concept is applied to the description of microcracked brittle materials. The mesoscopic equations are solved in a special case when the microcracks are developing according to the Rice-Griffith evolution law. The evolution of the crack distribution function is investigated in case of simple loading conditions and for two different initial crack distribution functions. The time dependence of the average crack length is calculated, too.

Mesoscopic Theory of Microcracks
The mesoscopic concept is a way to deal with complex materials with an internal structure within continuum mechanics. It consists of extending the domain of the balance equations by mesoscopic variables and of introducing a local distribution function of these variables as a statistical element. In our case microcracks are modelled as penny shaped and completely characterized by their diameter ...
متن کاملMoving Three Collinear Griffith Cracks at Orthotropic Interface
This work deals with the interaction of P-waves between a moving central crack and a pair of outer cracks situated at the interface of an orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. Initially, we considered a two-dimensional elastic wave equation in orthotropic medium. The Fourier transform has been applied to convert the basic problem to solve the set of four integral equations. These set of ...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Dentinal Microcrack Incidence After Root Canal Preparation by BioRaCe and Edge Taper Platinum
Background and Aim: Preparation of root canal with rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments may potentially create microcracks that can lead to vertical root fracture. This study aimed to compare the incidence of crack formation by BioRaCe and Edge Taper Platinum systems in the mesiobuccal canals of extracted first mandibular molars. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 50 first...
متن کاملComparison of two different implementations of a finite-difference-method for first-order pde in mathematica and matlab
1 Physics and analytical solution The growth rate of microcracks in a brittle material can be discribed by a mesoscopic equation. Here the specialized version for uniaxial loading is presented. ∂f(l, t) ∂t = − 1 l2 ∂lvl(l, t)f(l, t) ∂l , (1) f(l, t) is the distribution function for the crack length l at time t, vl = l̇ is the growth velocity of the cracks. A Rice-Griffith-like dynamic is assumed...
متن کاملThe effects of increased intracortical remodeling on microcrack behaviour in compact bone.
The behaviour of microdamage in bone is related to its microstructural features and thus has an important role in tissue structural properties. However, it is not known how cracks behave in areas of increased intracortical remodeling. More remodeling creates wider variation in the properties of the primary microstructural features of cortical bone, namely osteons. This situation may occur after...
