Fracture and failure characterization of materials have been a crucial issue regarding reliable structural design. Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) is one of the most commonly used material parameters for more purpose. This study utilized Compact Tension (CT) Specimen test to determine mode-I SIF of polycarbonate material. Force, displacement and images of the near crack tip region were simultaneo...

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 ...

Welded joints are prone to fatigue cracking with the existence of welding defects and bending stress. Fracture mechanics is a useful approach in which the fatigue life of the welded joint can be predicted. The key challenge of such predictions using fracture mechanics is how to accurately calculate the stress intensity factor (SIF). An empirical formula for calculating the SIF of welded joints ...

The investigation of fatigue strength needs an accurate solution and reliable values of the stress intensity factor (SIF). In this study, SIF of load-carrying cruciform welded joints has been evaluated using finite element method (FEM), and compared with the available solutions from literature. Load-carrying cruciform welded joints with isosceles triangles and non-isosceles triangle fillet weld...

Present study deals with the prediction of crack initiation angle for mixed mode (I/II) fracture using finite element techniques and J-Integral based approach. The FE code ANSYS is used to estimate the stress intensity factor numerically. The estimated values of SIF were incorporated into six different crack initiation angle criteria to predict the crack initiation angle. Single edge crack spec...

A closed-form solution is obtained for the interfacial edge crack between two bonded dissimilar orthotropic strips loaded by antiplane point loading in form of screw dislocation or line force. Conformal mapping and existing dislocation solutions are utilized for constructing the fundamental solution of the problem. The stress intensity factor (SIF) and the energy release rate (ERR) are obtained...

This article studies the retardation effect in plasticity-induced fatigue crack growth rate for a low-medium strength steel, due to appearance of microdeflections path. To this end, finite element method was used model with its kinked tip under several stress intensity factor (SIF) ranges. The results allowed calculation (after small number cycles) propagation multiaxial and uniaxial configurat...
