Resistance crack propagation

Different parameters impose different requirements on ceramic materials depending on whether fracture resistance or crack propagation resistance is of prime importance. The values of the above parameters for a range of ceramic materials are presented in Table 15.1, where the property dependence of thermal shock behaviour can be observed. A variety of other parameters...

The fracture toughness of a semi-crystalline polymer (PP) filled with mineral submicron and micron scale particles is investigated according to the J-integral method determination of the crack initiation energy (J ), and the crack propagation resistance dJ/d(Aa). Ultrafine mineral... 

With ultrafine S1O2 filler, there is no toughening effect, even at high filler content up to 5% vol. Both the critical energy Jo.2 2nd the crack propagation resistance dJ/dAa are reduced compared to unfilled PP, leading to a very stiff and brittle material. 

The brittleness of PP is enhanced with nanosize Si02 lower value of critical energy Jq,2, and reduced crack propagation resistance (dJ/dAa). 

However, the contribution of this mechanism to the toughness is mainly to crack initiation critical value (J0.2). the crack propagation resistance dJ/dAa. 

Results are shown on Fig. 6 improvement of both critical energy Jo,2 and the crack propagation resistance through dJ/dAa is observed. 

Again, a transition is observed for a certain value of the applied stress intensity factor, below which the crack propagation resistance is much lower than that measured in air. As for initiation, however, the ranking of the two materials in the ESC region remains essentially unchanged. 

Standard Mode I Double Cantilever Beam specimens for delamination testing of a unidirectional (UD) IM7/977-2 composite were Z-pinned with two separate blocks of Z-Fiber reinforcement. The reinforced beam configuration was such as to provoke an unstable delamination, propagating between the two Z-pin blocks. Crack resistance curves for these specific geometry specimens of IM7/977-2 indicate that the unstable delamination cracks are arrested by the second Z-pin block, with the crack propagation resistance being dictated primarily by the Z-pinning density within a block. Acoustic emission analysis is used to interpret visual observations and other test data.

A novel commercial Al-Li-Mg-Cu-Sc alloy, designated in Russia as 1443 aluminum alloy and denoted as 1443 A1 herein, is considered as a promising material for aerospace applications due to the optimal combination of strength and crack propagation resistance [1,2]. Achievement of... 

Indentation strength in bending was widely used to characterize the crack propagation resistance with increasing crack length. In this method a controlled crack is formed by Vickers indenter and... 

The shock resistance is not available as a measurement for all categories of materials. We find ourselves forced to replace it with a similar property toughness (Ki, which corresponds to crack propagation resistance ... 

Crack growth occurs when the energy release rate J is greater than or equal to the crack propagation resistance 7. The criterion 7 /r is similar to the condition Gi Giq in linear elastic fracture mechanics. 

Fatigue testing, as described in ASTM E647, monitors the crack propagation in a specimen as it is subjected to an oscillating tensile load. The number of oscillations, N, used in these tests are typically in the millions of cycles. The purpose of the test is to monitor the crack propagation resistance under cyclical loading, a type of deformation to which most implants will be subjected (Baker, Bellare, and Pruitt 2003).
