In inclined U-notches, the mixed mode (I + II) loading occurs and the mode ratio can be increased by varying the notch angle. In this paper, the effect of the inclined U-notch geometry, i.e. the notch depth, the notch angle, the notch root radius, and the position of the notch with respect to supports, on the mode ratio (KII/KI) have been studied. Three-point bending and plane strain condition ...

in this paper, the mean value of strain energy density criterion has been used to predict the critical fracture load in specimens with u-shaped notch under bending loads. an equation for calculation of averaged strain energy density in this zone has been presented. bending loads under mode i have been considered. two cases have been studied: 1) the control volume only includes the semicircular ...

In this paper, the influence of notch depth-to-width ratios on J-integral and critical load of Aluminium 8011 alloy specimens with U-notch under Mode I loading are studied. Using experiments, for a set of specimens having different notch depth–to–width ratios, J-integral was found and the same was verified using analytical methods. Further, using the results obtained from the experiments, failu...

Fracture assessment of U- and V-notches is important in mechanical engineering. One can use the J-integral as fracture parameter in order to predict the critical fracture load in notches. The critical value of the J-integral in cracks is a function of the material properties. In notches, however, the material properties as well as the notch dimensions affect this critical value (named fracture ...

The natural initiation and growth of short cracks in Inconel 718 U-notch specimens has been studied at 600C in air. U notches were introduced through broaching, and hardness traces and optical microscopy on cross sections through the U notch broaching showed that the broaching process had introduced a deformed, work hardened layer. Fatigue tests were conducted under load control using a 1-1-1-1...

this paper presents an e-ring shaped printed monopole antenna for uwb applications with dual notched bands performance. in order to generate single frequency band notch function, we applied a u-ring shaped monopole antenna, and by inserting a rectangular ring in the centre of it an e-ring shaped radiating patch created and a dual band-notch function can be achieved. the measured bandwidth of th...

The light weight of magnesium alloys makes them a promising material in different potential industries, such as aerospace and automobile. In addition, are attractive materials for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility with the human body. these structural parts require an understanding fatigue behavior because they usually subjected time-varying loading. Furthermore, notches ine...
