Investigating the fracture and deformation behaviour of pre-strained Grade 91 steel under small punch loading

Sarthok Chandra Pandit, Nasrul Azuan Alang, Juliawati Binti Alias, Mohd Firdaus Bin Hassan, Asnul Hadi Bin Ahmad, Mohd Shamil Shaari, Zhao Lei

Various failure modes induce localized internal damage and stress concentration sites in power plant components, causing additional plasticity that degrades material strength. Effect on such localized plasticity on components durability…

Hybrid phase-field modeling of multi-level concrete gravity dam notched cracks

Hichem Mazighi, Mustapha Kamel Mihoubi, David Santillan Sanchez

Phase-field models have become a powerful tool to simulate crack propagation. They regularize the fracture discontinuity and smooth the transition between the intact and the damaged regions. Based on the thermodynamic function and a…
