Research Article (up to ~6000 words, including 3~5 keywords, an abstract, an introduction, main body, brief subheadings, a conclusion, figures or tables, and references.) are original, unpublished primary …

The Griffith theory is defined as the concept stating that, in solids, the formation or extension of a crack requires an increase in potential energy proportional to the area of the new surface, balancing the …

In 1921, Sir Alan Arnold Griffith, an English mechanical engineer, published his seminal paper describing the theory of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) 1 in the Philosophical …

Fracture Mechanics covers classical and modern methods and introduce new/unique techniques, making this text an important resource for anyone involved...

The official journal of the and is an international open-access journal that was launched by the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) in 2015. Its aims are to provide a high-level platform where cutting …

Griffith (1921) developed a failure criterion based on a study of elliptical microcracks in a two-dimensional model. When the tensile stress at the tip of the crack exceeds a certain value …

8.2.2 Crack Initiation Cracks start from stress raisers. A stress raiser can be an abrupt change of section in a casting. However, this problem is well known to designers, and in any case is not likely to cause …

Mar 28, 2023 · In this paper, a possible extension of Griffith’s fracture theory to describe fatigue-induced crack propagation is proposed. To this end, an energy-ba…

Sep 1, 2024 · In general, for engineering materials with micro-cracks, such as rocks, concrete, ceramics, and other brittle materials, crack initiation is a manifestation of initial damage generation[1], [2]. …
