This book was released on 1994 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fracture in the ductile-brittle transition region of ferritic steels is complicated by scatter, produced by local sampling effects, and specimen geometry dependence, which results from relaxation in crack tip constraint. Scatter and constraint are interrelated in that each influences the magnitude of the other. This article summarizes recent research on fracture in the transition region and presents a unified framework for addressing size effects and scatter.

Download or read book Nonlinear Fracture Mechanics for Engineers written by Ashok Saxena and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-03-31 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fracture mechanics is an essential tool for engineers in a number of different engineering disciplines. For example, an engineer in a metals- or plastics-dependent industry might use fracture mechanics to evaluate and characterize materials, while another in aerospace or construction might use fracture mechanics-based methods for product design and service life-time estimation. This balanced treatment, which covers both applied engineering and mathematical aspects of the topic, provides a much-needed multidisciplinary treatment of the field suitable for the many diverse applications of the subject. While texts on linear elastic fracture mechanics abound, no complete treatments of the complex topic of nonlinear fracture mechanics have been available in a textbook format - until now. Written by an author with extensive industry credentials as well as academic experience, Nonlinear Fracture Mechanics for Engineers examines nonlinear fracture mechanics and its applications in mechanics, materials testing, and life prediction of components. The book includes the first-ever complete examination of creep and creep-fatigue crack growth. Examples and problems reinforce the concepts presented. A complete chapter on applications and case studies involving nonlinear fracture mechanics completes this thorough evaluation of this dynamic field of study.

Download or read book Fracture and Ductile Vs Brittle Behavior Theory Modelling and Experiment Volume 539 written by Glenn E. Beltz and published by . This book was released on 1999-04-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dramatic progress has been made in the fundamentals of fracture, with special emphasis on the ductile/brittle transition across a broad spectrum of material classes. Unfortunately, however, since these studies are carried out in diverse research communities, communication among the different groups is limited. This book brings these diverse groups together. Contributions generally follow the topical outline upon which the symposium was organized. Part I deals with brittle/ductile behavior of steels and structural metallic alloys. The development of analytical models based on micromechanical models, such as dislocation mechanics and cohesive/contact zone models, is the focus of Part II. Nonmetals, including silicon, are reviewed in Parts III and IV. Fractals, chaos, and scaling theories, with emphasis on fracture in heterogeneous solids, is the basis of Part V. Crystal plasticity and mesoscale dislocation modelling follow in Part VI, with the technologically significant area of interfacial fracture featured in Part VII.

Book excerpt: This volume contains papers presented at the 1998 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, In Symposium M, entitled "Fracture and Ductile vs. Brittle Behavior-Theory, Modeling and Experiment." The symposium brought together the many communities that investigate the fundamentals of fracture, with special emphasis on the ductile/brittle transition across a broad spectrum of material classes, fracture at interfaces, and modeling fracture over various length scales. Theoretical techniques discussed ranged from first principles electronic structure theory to atomistic simulation to mesoscale and continuum theories, along with studies of fractals and scaling in fracture. Experimental and theoretical talks were interspersed throughout all sessions, rather than being segregated. The symposium was generously supported by the Office of Naval Research, the Army Research office, the Air force office of Scientific Research, and the Center for Theoretical Computational Materials Science at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The organizers would like to offer our personal thanks to Dr. Brian Sanders and Dr. Ozden Ochoa of AFOSR, Dr. Peter Reynolds of ONR; and Dr. Sharon Glotzer and Dr. Jim Warren of CTCMS/NIST for their role in encouraging excellence fracture research.

Download or read book The Theory of Critical Distances written by David Taylor and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-07 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical distance methods are extremely useful for predicting fracture and fatigue in engineering components. They also represent an important development in the theory of fracture mechanics. Despite being in use for over fifty years in some fields, there has never been a book about these methods – until now. So why now? Because the increasing use of computer-aided stress analysis (by FEA and other techniques) has made these methods extremely easy to use in practical situations. This is turn has prompted researchers to re-examine the underlying theory with renewed interest. The Theory of Critical Distances begins with a general introduction to the phenomena of mechanical failure in materials: a basic understanding of solid mechanics and materials engineering is assumed, though appropriate introductory references are provided where necessary. After a simple explanation of how to use critical distance methods, and a more detailed exposition of the methods including their history and classification, the book continues by showing examples of how critical distance approaches can be applied to predict fracture and fatigue in different classes of materials. Subsequent chapters include some more complex theoretical areas, such as multiaxial loading and contact problems, and a range of practical examples using case studies of real engineering components taken from the author's own consultancy work. The Theory of Critical Distances will be of interest to a range of readers, from academic researchers concerned with the theoretical basis of the subject, to industrial engineers who wish to incorporate the method into modern computer-aided design and analysis. - Comprehensive collection of published data, plus new data from the author's own laboratories - A simple 'how-to-do-it' exposition of the method, plus examples and case studies - Detailed theoretical treatment - Covers all classes of materials: metals, polymers, ceramics and composites - Includes fracture, fatigue, fretting, size effects and multiaxial loading

Download or read book A New Theoretical Framework for Inelastic Fracture Processes written by MM. Rashid and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Exclusion Region theory is a new theoretical construct that attempts to address both the difficulty of solving the boundary-value problem in the presence of a crack, and the subsequent difficulty of extracting from the solution a physically relevant fracture criterion. The theory starts with the presumption that, within a small radius of the separation front, the stress field as determined from the local constitutive model does not provide a meaningful representation of the internal force distribution for purposes of imposing equilibrium. Equilibrium (or momentum conservation) therefore cannot be applied pointwise within this exclusion region to solve for the displacement field. Instead, the material displacement field within the exclusion region is given by an assumed form that accommodates the separation of a material surface into a pair of new free surfaces. The enriched kinematics of the exclusion region may therefore be regarded as simply leading to a broadened constitutive model, which only applies to a small material neighborhood that is suffering surface separation. Further, and in contrast to conventional fracture mechanics, the form of the crack advance criterion does not restrict the material model that may be applied in the bulk continuum. The Exclusion Region theory has been implemented in a two-dimensional finite element code. The code uses a novel numerical procedure in which the moving separation front lies at the center of a translating, disc-shaped patch of elements. Compatibility at the interface between the mesh patch and the fixed background mesh is enforced weakly. Numerical studies have demonstrated complete correspondence between the new theory and linear elastic fracture mechanics. Preliminary results involving large deformations and extensive plastic deformation are also presented.
