## This paper examines the behaviour of two elasto-plastic fracture parameters which characterise the severity of a crack-tip field under large scale yielding. One may be regarded as a local crack-tip parameter which associates closely to the stress/strain fields at the crack-tip whilst the other

A comparison is drawn between some of the elements most widely employed to model the tip region in elasto-plastic fracture mechanics: i.e. standard 6-node elements, 6-node quarterpoint elements, 8-node collapsed elements, I-node quarter-point collapsed elements. The discussion is particularly focuse
Conformal mapping techniques may be used for the automatic generation of finite element meshes in two-dimensional fracture mechanics calculations. Using a SchwartzChristoffel conformal transformation, the conformal mapping leads to an optimum mesh in the crack region. This resultant mesh is refined
## Abstract A series of commercial polystyrenes was tested using an instrumented impact tester to determine the fracture toughness __K__~__c__~ and critical strain energy release rate __G__~__c__~. Over the range of __M__~__w__~, 201,000 to 336,000, __K__~__c__~ increased from 1.38 MN/m^3/2^ to 1.7
Abatrati-The values of the plastic eta factor (q,,,) for deeply cracked compact fracture specimens of ASTM AS88 steel, base metal and weld metal were experimentally determined by using limit load solutions and the property of load separation of the corresponding calibration function for the C(T) spe
