Crack propagation in rocks is simulated by using a displacement substitution method based on a mixed mode fracture criterion. The main advantage of this model is that it can distinguish between mode I and mode II stress intensity factors simultaneously. A typical finite element program is used to co

The fatigue life of MIG welded cruciform joint failing from root (LOP) region was successfully predicted using new fracture mechanics equations. These equations were developed by combining Paris' law and AK~-endurance equation and incorporating an integral factor (Ip), obtained by integrating Paris'
This paper deals with mode I fracture toughness prediction of a multidirectional laminated composite, whose fracture is dominated by matrix fracture and has the same layer composition, from the lowest (or matrix fracture) toughness of the basic layer. Two methods, one based on the stress approach an
To evaluate the parameters in the two-parameter fracture model, i.e. the critical stress intensity factor and critiLcal crack tip opening displacement for the fracture of plain concrete in Mode 1 for the given test configuration and geometry, considerable computational effort is necessary. A simple
We would like to comment on the conclusions made by Gj~rv, S~rensen and Arnesen regarding the notch sensitivity of concrete and the applicability of linear fracture mechanics to small sized concrete specimens.
## Abstract Bisphosphonate (BP) treatment used to prevent bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis has recently been implicated in an apparent increase in subtrochanteric femoral fractures. Previous work showed that BPs can reduce the energy to fracture of cancellous bone, but limited data exist on
