Three-dimensional elastic-plastic problems for a power-law hardening material are solved using the finite element method. Distributions of the J-integral and constraint parameter A along the crack front for varying specimen thickness and…
This paper investigates the fracture properties and notch effect of PUR materials with four different densities. The asymmetric semi-circular bend specimen was adapted to perform mixed mode fracture toughness tests. This semi-circular…
This paper studied the effects of specimen size and type on the real-mode-I fracture toughness (KIC )of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) specimens. Mode I KIC tests were performed using semicircular bend (SCB) and center-cracked…
To study glass/epoxy fiber orientation effects on translaminar fracture toughness under Mixed mode(I/II) load using asymmetric Four Point Bend specimen. Fracture toughness values for different fiber-oriented glass/epoxy laminates under…
In this work, the prediction of crack initiation angle (θo) under mixed mode (I/II) load is estimated from the generalized minimum plastic zone radius (GMPZR) criterion. The paper presents a detailed study on the crack-tip plastic core for…
The modified disk shaped compact tension test is a configuration derived from standard compact tension test that is used for measuring fracture mechanical properties of primarily metallic materials. The compact tension configuration is…
Particleboard (PB) are wood-based composites with fine wood fibers bound together by a small amount of polymeric adhesive, widely used in furniture industry and civil engineering. PB plates can be painted, laminated or veneered, and have…
