This work is focused on a fracture mechanics analysis of a spur gear with thin rim. The fatigue crack propagation is numerically studied using special routine implemented [...]

The fatigue failure of railway axles could have unaccepted consequences. Because of safe operation, it is important to determine the residual fatigue lifetime. The railwa [...]

The main aim of this paper is an investigation of the crack behavior in the ceramics laminates. Especially, the problem of the estimation of the stress singularity expone [...]

The aim of this paper is to present methodology for estimation of fracture mechanics parameters in polyolefin pipes with an axially oriented crack using three dimensional [...]

The aim of the paper is to estimate a critical value of an applied stress for a crack initiation from sharp tip of the V-notch using a procedure based on linear elastic f [...]

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 [...]
