Crack propagation simulation began with the development of the finite element method; the analyses were conducted to obtain a basic understanding of the crack growth. Today structural and materials engineers develop structures and…
In the last two decades, visual image techniques such as Digital Image Correlation (DIC) enabled to experimentally determine the crack tip displacement and strain fields at small scales. The displacements are tracked during loading, and…
Fatigue cracks are a common occurrence in engineering structures subjected to dynamic loading and need to identify at its earliest stage before it leads to catastrophic failure. The presence of fatigue-breathing crack or closing cracks is…
Crack propagation simulation began with the development of the finite element method; the analyses were conducted to obtain a basic understanding of the crack growth. Today structural and materials engineers develop structures and…
This is the first part of a short three-paper series, aiming to revisit some classical concepts of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics. The motive of this first paper is to highlight some controversial issues, related to the unnatural…
In recent years, the advent of staring array detectors has made Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA) a technique with considerable potential for fatigue and fracture mechanics applications. The technique is noncontacting and provides full…
