β¦ Synopsis
Plastic dissipation at the crack tip under cyclic loading is responsible for the creation of an heterogeneous temperature field around the crack tip. A thermomechanical model is proposed in this paper for the theoretical problem of an infinite plate with a semi-infinite through crack under mode I cyclic loading both in plane stress or in plane strain condition. It is assumed that the heat source is located in the reverse cyclic plastic zone. The proposed analytical solution of the thermo-mechanical problem shows that the crack tip is under compression due to thermal stresses coming from the heterogeneous stress field around the crack tip. The effect of this stress field on the stress intensity factor (its maximum and its range) is calculated analytically for the infinite plate and by finite element analysis. The heat flux within the reverse cyclic plastic zone is the key parameter to quantify the effect of dissipation at the crack tip on the stress intensity factor.

## Abstract Stress intensity factors were calculated for partly circumferential surface cracks at the outside of a pipe. The pipe is loaded by internal pressure and by thermal stresses. The weight functions method is used to calculate averaged weighted stress intensity factors at the deepest point
The Ni-Mn-Ga shape memory ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are prone to fracture during thermal cycling. The present research shows that the primary reason for the thermally induced fracture of Ni-Mn-Ga FSMAs is the increase in the crack tip stress-intensity factor (SIF) due to stress redis
The relation between diffusion behavior of hydrogen atoms and crack branching in delayed failure was discussed. The hypotheses that diffusion paths of hydrogen atoms at crack tip broaden with increase of stress intensity factor K, and that crack branching occurs when hydrogen atoms diffuse through
