The fatigue crack growth rate in the Eurofer 97 steel was measured by two different methodologies. Small crack growth data were obtained using cylindrical specimens with [...]

A substantial number of experimentally based works indicate the changes in crack propagation direction on bi-material interface in composite laminate materials. The paper [...]

The paper is devoted to fatigue crack propagation in layered materials. The influence of plasticity induced crack closure on threshold values for fatigue crack propagatio [...]

The aim of this paper is to investigate the beginnings of crack propagation from sharp V-notches. Stress distribution around the tip of a V-notch is described on the basi [...]

The influence of corner singularity on crack behaviour for a threedimensional structure is described in this paper. The distribution of stress singularity through the thi [...]

Under the assumptions of linear elastic fracture mechanics the behaviour of cracks and general singular stress concentrators is studied and compared. The stress distribu [...]

Concrete is represented as a two-phase material in this paper. Behaviour of a crack with its tip on the interface between two different materials - hardened cement paste [...]

Abstrakt: A stability criterion based on generalized strain energy density factor for a crack terminating at the bi-material inteiface is suggested. The strain energy den [...]

Abstrakt: Při stanovováni lomových charakteristik betonu a dalších cementových kompozitů je využívána zkouška tříbodovým ohybem trámců se zářezem. Efekt [...]
