✦ Synopsis

The axisymmetric fracture behavior of brittle materials under an applied indentation force is investigated by considering the pile-up of Somigliana ring dislocations. For such a mixedmode crack problem, the stress intensity factors (SIFs) and strain energy release rate are obtained by solving a system of Cauchy singular integral equations. The Auerbach range is extensively studied during the formation of a shallow ring crack. The Auerbach constant is also determined from the exact solutions, enabling the prediction of surface energy from Hertzian indentation tests. The obtained results can be used to extract the fracture parameters of brittle materials by using the indentation technique.

Surface ring crack defects are normally found on the surfaces of ceramic balls. These ring cracks are circular extending for approximately one quarter of circumference of a circle and these cracks can significantly reduce rolling contact fatigue life.

Understanding the fatigue crack growth phenomenon in railheads requires a study of driving forces, such as the crack tip opening and sliding displacements, under repeated rolling contact. Finite element simulations, allowing elastic-plastic deformation, and mixed-mode crack growth laws were utilized
