Sharp contact corners, fretting and cracks

D. A. Hills, R. C. Flicek, D. Dini

Contacts with sharp edges subject to oscillatory loading are likely to nucleate cracks from the corners, if the loading is sufficiently severe. To a first approximation, the corners behave like notches, where the local elastic behaviour is…

The concept of the average stress in the fracture process zone for the search of the crack path

Yu.G. Matvienko, M.M. Semenova

The concept of the average stress has been employed to propose the maximum average tangential stress (MATS) criterion for predicting the direction of fracture angle. This criterion states that a crack grows when the maximum average…

Review of the Influence of non-singular higher order terms on the stress field of thin welded lap joints and small inclined cracks in plates

F. Berto, M.R. Ayatollahi, S. Vantadori, A. Carpinteri

In stress analysis of cracked plates, alongside the stress intensity factor which quantifies the singular stress component perpendicular to the crack plane, the role played in crack growth by the constant term parallel to the crack plane…
