The analysis presented in this paper derives, for a centre-crack embedded in a linear viscoelastic medium, crack growth equations which are based upon a modified energy balance relation. In contrast to an earlier approach a fracture process zone is introduced in the neighbourhood of the crack tip. I

This paper investigates the possibility that ductile fracture occurs by the McClintock-Berg mechanism of localization of deformation within a narrow shear band, owing to the progressive softening of the material by increasing porosity due to void growth. The ductility predicted for a macroscopically
A model is proposed for prediction of fracture initiation from surface flaws, bands of slag inclusions and zones with low yield strength in thin-walled structures. The mod del applies to cases where the whole ligament or defect zone is plasticized. Application of the model to, esign cases requires i
This paper presents a modified Weibull stress model which accounts for the effects of plastic strain and stress triaxiality at the crack tip region. The proposed model is applied to predict cleavage fracture in a modified A508 pressure vessel steel. It is demonstrated that the Weibull modulus (m) re
