Measurements of mechanical properties of objects with micrometric (or even smaller) dimensions is still not a common task. In this paper, the possibility of evaluation ba [...]

V této práci bylo využito výpočtové modelování s pomocí MKP k simulaci šíření únavových trhlin v ozubených kolech s tenkým věncem. Na základě předpok [...]

The paper investigates the effect of in-plane constraint on plasticity induced crack closure under conditions of small scale yielding. The growth of a sharp straight crac [...]

Two elastic plane strain problems relevant to the cracking of protective layers bonded to dissimilar semi-infinite substrate materials are solved. In the first case a cra [...]

Concrete is represented as a three-phase material in this paper. Behaviour of a single macrocrack approaching to the interface between hardened cement paste (matrix) and [...]

Fracture behaviour of concrete is studied using two-phase material model. Propagation of a single macrocrack in hardened cement paste (matrix) and aggregate (particle) is [...]
