Abstract: The Mode I stress intensity factor of a sector crack in a three-dimensional Voronoi polycrystal is computed by the body force technique. Microstructural stresses arising from the elastic anisotropy ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis of crack nucleation in isotropic polycrystalline ice due to the elastic anisotropy of the constituent crystals has recently been presented by Shyam Sunder and Wu [1]. ...
