The CJP model of crack tip stresses is a modified version of the Williams crack tip stress field which takes account of simplified stress distributions that arise from the presence of a zone of plastic deformation associated with the crack…
Considerations are made for the fracture morphology and its evolution in relation to the brittle fracture along butt-weld, where crack path stability may play important roles in various aspects. Analyses of a kinked and curved crack are…
Threshold condition and rate of fatigue crack growth in both short and long crack regime appear to be significantly affected by the degree of crack deflection. In the present paper, a theoretical model of a periodically-kinked crack is…
A double cantilever beam geometry has been chosen in order to investigate the importance of the higher-order terms of the Williams’ power expansion for the crack path estimation. The crack propagation has been tested experimentally on a…
The analysis of the bone fracture behaviour is fundamental for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of traumas. In the present paper, an experimental analysis of the fracture behaviour of a bovine femoral cortical bone is carried out, where…
