The average value of the crack tip stress intensity factor produced by a row of impurity atoms is calculated in this paper. The row of impurity atoms lies parallel to the crack front and is situated at an arbitrary position about a crack. The impurity atom produced mode I shielding/antishielding str

โฆ Synopsis
The impurity crack tip shielding/antishielding stress intensity factor is found for equilibrium impurity concentrations near the crack tip for a crack tip with or without a plastic zone. It is found that the impurity atoms produce either no shielding/antishielding stress intensity factor or only a very small shielding/antishielding stress intensity factor. However, if the impurity concentration near a crack tip is perturbed from equilibrium values the possibility arises that appreciable crack tip shielding/antishielding can exist. If a small elastic enclave exists between the crack tip and the plastic zone, impurity atoms also may be able to produce an appreciable crack tip shielding/antishielding.

Anti-shielding of a crack tip by a dislocation is examined at the atomistic level for a simple geometry to test classical singular-crack and recent cohesive-crack models of crack/dislocation interactions. The atomistic model shows that, as an anti-shielding dislocation approaches the crack tip, it c
Crack tip shielding by dislocations is an essential feature of the modeling of semi-brittle crack propagation and the brittle to ductile transition. The stress field, in the elementary configuration where a single dislocation interacts with a crack, is obtained by two independent methods, at two dif
Asperity contact along the fracture surface of a crack is one of the mechanisms of crack closure. This contact shields the crack tip, in part, from the externally applied driving force. We have now succeeded in using information from acoustic transmission and diffraction experiments, obtained under
A mathematical formulation is developed for a long crack (mode III) with two symmetrical screw dislocation pileups inclined to the crack by an angle 4. Dislocation free zones (DFZ) are allowed at the crack up. The resulting series of equations are solved numerically. The effect of the inclination an
