Abstract: Steady-state quasi-static crack growth along a bimaterial interface is analyzed under Mode III, small-scale yielding conditions using a finite element procedure. The interface is formed by an ...

Abstract: Strong discontinuities across quasi-statically propagating surfaces in anisotropic elastic-plastic solids under generalized plane stress are reexamined allowing for some generality in constitutive ...

Abstract: A simultaneous numerical and experimental investigation is undertaken to assess three-dimensional effects and HRR dominance near a crack front in a ductile 3-point bend specimen. In parallel to ...

Abstract: We report a combined experimental and computational study of a low constraint aluminum single crystal fracture geometry and investigate the near-tip stress and strain fields. To this end, a ...

Abstract: A detailed finite element study of stable crack growth in elastic-perfectly plastic solids obeying an incremental plasticity theory and the Huber-Von Mises yield criterion is performed under plane ...

Abstract: A detailed finite element analysis is performed to model quasi-static crack growth under plane stress, small-scale yielding conditions in elastic-plastic materials characterized by isotropic power ...
