✦ Synopsis

The failure of an axle housing in a crane truck has been successfully analyzed with the aid of fracture mechanics. The cause of failure was the field addition of stop blocks welded to the axle housing. The time from crack penetration of the axle housing to final failure was too short for the presence of such a crack to have been detected by routine maintenance.

A new approach for the analysis of crack propagation in brittle materials is proposed\ which is based on a combination of fracture mechanics and continuum damage mechanics within the context of the \_nite element method[ The approach combines the accuracy of singular crack!tip elements from fracture
