Numerical Assessments of Cracks in Elastic-Plastic Materials

Meer over het boek

The book offers a comprehensive examination of crack issues in elastic-plastic materials, featuring advanced discussions on fracture mechanics. It explores the two-parameter concept for stationary cracks and delves into three-dimensional crack fields influenced by strong out-of-plane effects. Additionally, it addresses interface cracks and mixed mode crack growth problems. A thorough analysis of stress singularities related to various notches is complemented by detailed finite element computations, making it a valuable resource for understanding complex crack behavior.
