The bi-parametric criterion applied to mixed mode brittle and quasi-brittle fracture is based on the principle that the initiation of crack growth instability occurs when the maximum value of strain energy density, evaluated along the initial elasticcplastic boundary around the crack tip, is equal t

โฆ Synopsis
In this investigation complex stress state is related to the stress state in uniaxial tension by use of the concept of effective stress from the elastoplastic theory. Considering that in metals the crack growth is usually accompanied by locally plastic deformation in front of the crack tip, and the extension of a crack will always pass through the plastic zone into the elastic region along a minimum path. Therefore, the cracking direction will be decided by the minimum path between the crack tip and elastic-plastic boundary near the crack tip. On the basis of above discussion the effective stress criterion for mixed mode crack propagation is derived.

A statistical approach is presented to strength analysis of metals under conditions of low-temperature embrittlement. The approach involves two categories of defects leading to fracture: primary defects, present in the original structure in the form of microvoids, microcracks, inclusions etc., and
In this paper, we present a new criterion to predict the crack initiation under quasi-static loads from a geometrical weakness presenting an arbitrary stress concentration in brittle or quasi-brittle materials. Three material parameters were used in the establishment of the criterion, namely the ult
