The interaction of a crack front with a second-phase dispersion
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a crack front increases its length by changing its shape when it interacts with two or more inhomogeneities in a brittle material, and an expression for the fracture energy was obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between a crack front and cleavage steps
F. F. Lange,K. A. D. Lambe +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the interaction of a crack front with cleavage steps on MgO fracture surfaces and showed that steps exert a dragging force proportional to their height and the crack front overlaps itself prior to the formation of the step.
