Crack Tip Shielding or Anti-shielding due to Smooth and Discontinuous Material Inhomogeneities

This paper describes a theoretical model and related computational methods for examining the influence of inhomogeneous material properties on the crack driving force in elastic and elastic-plastic materials. Following the configurational forces approach, the crack tip shielding or anti-shielding due to smooth (e.g. graded layer) and discontinuous (e.g. bimaterial interface) distributions in material properties are derived. Computational post-processing methods are described to evaluate these inhomogeneity effects. The utility of the theoretical model and computational methods is demonstrated by examining a bimaterial interface perpendicular to a crack in elastic and elastic-plastic compact tension specimens.     

A simple method for the evaluation of fracture toughness of a multi-layered laminate based on the failure stress of sub-laminates

A simple analytical method is presented that can be used to predict the intralaminar fracture toughness of multilayered composite laminate based on the failure stresses of its sub laminates. MCCI approach is followed to verify the fracture toughness of a base laminate and the method is validated comparing the available test data on the toughness value of the base laminate with the prediction. It is observed that a better representation of carbon —epoxy base laminate by its sub laminate gives very good agreement in prediction within 3%.     

Evaluation of R-curve behavior of ceramic-metal functionally graded materials by stable crack growth

This paper deals with the fracture toughness and R-curve behavior of ceramic-metal functionally graded materials (FGMs). A possibility of stable crack growth in a three-point-bending specimen is examined based on the driving force and resistance for crack growth in FGMs, and the distribution of fracture toughness or R-curve behavior is evaluated on FGMs fabricated by powder metallurgy using partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) and stainless steel (SUS 304). The materials have a functionally graded surface layer (FGM layer) with a thickness of 1 mm or 2 mm on a SUS 304 substrate. Three-point-bending tests are carried out on a rectangular specimen with a very short crack in the ceramics surface. On the three-point-bending test, a crack is initiated from a short pre-crack in unstable manner, and then it propagates in stable manner through the FGM layer with an increase in the applied load. From the relationship between applied load and crack length during the stable crack growth in the FGM layer, the fracture toughness is evaluated. The fracture toughness increases with an increase in a volume fraction of SUS 304 phase.

粗骨料粒径对新老混凝土粘结断裂韧度的影响

根据新老混凝土粘结断裂试验结果，分析了粗骨料粒径对新老混凝土粘结断裂韧度的影响机理，并用分形理论对影响机理进行了验证．结果表明：新混凝土粗骨料最大粒径对粘结断裂韧度的影响不是独立的，而与老混凝土粘结面粗糙度处理程度有密切关系．在相同粗糙度下，粗骨料最大粒径对粘结断裂韧度的影响无显性表现．
