critical evaluation of the feasibility of obtaining crack growth parameters from quasi-static bend tests is presented. First derived are the governing differential equations which characterize the time-history of bend test parameters for a given elastic material exhibiting power law crack growth beh

Fatigue tests have been carried out on edge notched mild steel specimens of various thicknesses. Results are presented showing the effect of thickness on crack initiation, crack growth and the geometry and fractography of the fracture surface. It was found that both crack initiation and crack growth
The effect of two singularity fields: the HRR solution and a modified form of Rice's solution for the anti-plane shear, on the fatigue crack propagation are investigated. A unified crack growth rate equation is derived involving mechanical, cyclic, fatigue properties as well as a length parameter as
In studying the effect of water and a series of aliphatic alcohols on subcritical crack growth in cement paste, log crack velocity-stress intensity factor curves were obtained by means of a double-torsion technique. The relative position of the curves was found to be dependent on the dielectric con
