Abstract:
The initial crack propagation directions of branched cracks under tension are investigated. In this study, the material is assumed to be brittle and deformed linear elastically. The elastic stress fields and stress intensity factors are obtained by using finite element analysis method. Various parameters which including the lengths, the directions and the locations of branched cracks are investigated to study their effects on the crack initiation angles. Three kinds of crack propagation criteria are employed to obtain the crack initiation angles. The effects of crack propagation directions due

Radial cracks may exist around tunnel edge, and these cracks may propagate and weaken tunnel stability under nearby blasting operations. In order to study the blast-induced fracture behavior of radial cracks emanating from a tunnel spandrel, a tunnel model containing a spandrel crack (TMCSC) with different inclination angles was proposed in this paper. Crack propagation gauges (CPGs) and strain gauges were used in the experiments to measure crack initiation moment and propagation time.

Abstract:
A fatigue crack growth test program has been carried out on hollow, SuperCMV shaft specimens, with transverse holes, under combined torsional and axial loading. The experimental results show that fatigue cracks always initiated in the stress concentration areas, i.e., in the transverse holes. Up to four cracks were observed to be initiated at different positions near the holes in the shafts. The fatigue crack propagation was initially found to occur under Mode I conditions, followed by a period of mixed Mode II/III crack growth. Three dimensional, finite element, elastic-plastic analyses have

Abstract:
According to laboratory accelerated test data, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in structural metal materials occurs by initiation and coalescence of micro cracks, subcritical crack propagation and multiple large crack formation or final failure under the combination of materials, stress and corrosive environment. In this paper, a Monte Carlo simulation for the process of SCC has been proposed based on the stochastic properties of micro crack initiation and fracture mechanics concept for crack coalescence and propagation. The emphasis in the model is put on the influence of the semi-elliptical

This study aims to investigate the fracture behaviors of cracks and crack systems in Brazilian disk (BD) sandstone specimens under compressive line loading. We conduct a series of rock fracture experiments to investigate crack initiation, propagation, and coalescence in samples with one or more pre-existing flaws under radial compressive stress. The displacements and failure loads of the tested specimens are measured. Experimental results show that there are two main types of cracks growing from the pre-existing flaws: wing cracks and secondary cracks. Both initiate mostly from the tips of the

The initiation and propagation behaviors of small fatigue crack in TC4 were investigated in the present work. Surface replication on the basis of a two-part silicon mixture and confocal laser scanning microscope were used to record and observe the small crack initiation and growth processes at room temperature in air. Results showed that surface cracks initiated from the interfaces between α and β phases. When the crack lengths were below ~200 μm, the crack growth rates exhibited large oscillations and temporary retardations due to the presence of α/β interfaces. The corner crack propagated mu

Crack initiation and short crack propagation was studied on the polished notched surfaces of Cr-Mo prealloy sintered steels with 7.35 g.cm-3 sintered density. An ultrasonic resonance test system operating in push-pull mode at 20 kHz and R=-1 was used. It showed that crack initiation took place in several places, small cracks growing oriented to the local pore structure rather than to stress orientation. Their growth rate is markedly higher than the corresponding one of long cracks. Finally, several microcracks join to form a dominant crack.

The study of the generation and propagation of cracks in the concrete face of rockfill dams is of great significance to dam construction and face crack prevention. In this study, the initiation and propagation of cracks in the concrete face of a rockfill dam are investigated using an extended finite element method (XFEM) and ABAQUS software for the Gongboxia concrete-face rockfill dam.

ABSTRACT A detailed study of the initiation of fatigue cracks in carbon black–filled natural rubber is conducted. Interrupted fatigue tests are performed and fatigued samples are observed with a scanning electron microscope. This procedure first enables the quantification of the morphology, spatial distribution, and evolution of crack initiation sites for different strain levels, which gives some statistical data for each strain level. It also permits analysis of the chemical nature of inclusions inducing crack initiation thanks to energy dispersive spectrometry of X-rays. It is shown that fat

An understanding of the crack initiation and crack growth in metals spanning the entire spectrum of conventional and advanced has long been a major scientific challenge. It is known that dislocations are involved both in the initiation and propagation of cracks in metals and alloys. In this review, we first describe the experimental observations of dislocation emission from cracks under stress. Then the role played by these dislocations in fatigue and fracture is considered at a fundamental level by considering the interactions of crack and dislocations emitted from the crack.
