Abstract: The work of Evans and Hutchinson (1989) on micromechanics modeling of combined mode fracture is used as the basis for proposing an expression for combined Mode I and Mode II fracture toughness ...

Abstract: A simple analytical model is derived for the prediction of time-dependent deformation and damage response of metal matrix composites under fiber direction loading. The model can be used in ...

Abstract: This paper presents failure investigation on reheater pendent SA213-T22 tubes through visual inspections, steam-side scale and tube wall thickness measurements, metallurgical examinations, and creep ...
