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

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 v
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
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
In order to assess fatigue crack propagation, one of the most-used laws is due to Elber. This involves, however, accurate measurement of the opening load of the crack which is closed at its tip. We propose a new ultrasonic method based on wave diffraction by the crack tip and a record of the echodyn
