Journal ArticleDOI

Cohesive traction–separation laws for tearing of ductile metal plates

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Gurson constitutive law to characterize the traction-separation behavior and the associated effective cohesive fracture energy of the entire failure process in a 2D plane strain finite element model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Initial post-buckling behavior of toroidal shell segments☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the initial postbuckling behavior of double curvature shell segments under several loading conditions was determined, using Koiter theory, using the double curvatures of the shell segments.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Mechanics of Indentation Induced Lateral Cracking

TL;DR: In this paper, a closed form solution for cracking induced by expansion of a two-dimensional cavity is used to bring out essential features related to parametric dependence and scaling, and a three-dimensional axisymmetric problem for an annular crack driven by a rigid spherical or conical indenter is solved using numerical methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spherical impression of thin elastic films on elastic–plastic substrates

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present analysis of an impression experiment designed to evaluate some of the relevant properties of thin elastic films, which can be used to estimate the fracture toughness of the film, the static friction coefficient of the surface and the constitutive behavior of the substrate.
