The Variational Approach to Fracture

TL;DR: In this article, a weak variational evolution is proposed for 1D traction on a fiber reinforced matrix, and a variational formulation for fatigue is presented, which is based on the soft belly of Griffith's formulation.

Mechanisms of fatigue-crack propagation in ductile and brittle solids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the mechanisms of fatigue-crack propagation with particular emphasis on the similarities and differences between cyclic crack growth in ductile materials such as metals, and corresponding behavior in brittle materials, such as intermetallics and ceramics.
Journal ArticleDOI

An irreversible cohesive zone model for interface fatigue crack growth simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an irreversible constitutive equation for the cyclic interface traction-separation behavior within the cohesive zone model (CZM) approach to study fatigue crack growth (FCG) along an interface.
Journal ArticleDOI

A history of fatigue

TL;DR: The history of fatigue from 1838 to the present is described in detail, with special emphasis on the German contribution in the time period of 1920-1945 as discussed by the authors, and a number of distinguished scientists and engineers, and their contributions to the further development of fatigue knowledge are specifically mentioned.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Cohesive model of fatigue crack growth

TL;DR: In this article, the use of cohesive theories of fracture, in conjunction with the explicit resolution of the near-tip plastic fields and the enforcement of closure as a contact constraint, for the purpose of fatigue-life prediction is investigated.
