This book is aimed at those in both industry and academic institutions who require a grounding not only in the basic principles of this important field but also in the practical aspects of evaluating fracture mechanics parameters.
Rock Fracture Mechanics
Thus , it is assumed that p ( x ) = Ко 23 2пх for 0 < x < ut , ( 6.4.36 ) where Ko is the initial equilibrium stress intensity factor . The dynamic stress intensity factor for this case is ut Ко Kj ( ut , v ) = k ( u ) k ( w ) 6.
The book introduces and informs the reader on how fracture mechanics works and how it is so different from other forms of analysis that are used to characterize mechanical properties.
Named after C.Y. HUI and H. RIEDEL who intensively studied creep crack growth this field is called Hui-Riedel field. In contrast to the situation of a stationary crack (HRR-field) the stresses and strains of the Hui-Riedel field display ...
This multiauthor volume provides a useful summary of current knowledge on the application of fracture mechanics to composite materials.
Results and Discussion The results of testing were a series of curves representing crack growth rate versus high frequency K range for constant low frequency cycle AK range and low cycle hold time. Crack growth rate is reported in terms ...
Almost all books available on fracture mechanics cover the majority of topics presented in this book, and often much, much more. While great as references, this makes teaching from them...
FRACTURE MECHANICS OF CONCRETE AND ROCK This book offers engineers a unique opportunity to learn, frominternationally recognized leaders in their field, about the latesttheoretical advances in fracture mechanics in concrete, ...
The object of this publication is to present the latest results to the re.earch and development community and to assist the teaching of experimental fracture mechanics and stress analysis in undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
This edition includes expanded coverage of weight functions and a new chapter on environmental cracking.
