Analysis of crack formation and crack growth in concrete by means of fracture mechanics and finite elements
TLDR
In this article, fracture mechanics is introduced into finite element analysis by means of a model where stresses are assumed to act across a crack as long as it is narrowly opened, which may be regarded as a way of expressing the energy adsorption in the energy balance approach.About:

Failure Analysis of Bolted Composite Joints Exhibiting In-Plane Failure Modes:
TL;DR: In this article, the Damage Zone Model (DZM) is applied for simultaneous in-plane, net-tension, and shear-out failure analysis of T300/914C graphite/epoxy [0/90/±45,]-type laminates containing a single, perfect-fit, finger-tight, bolt-loaded hole.

Size effects in mode II brittle fracture of rocks
TL;DR: In this article, a stress-based criterion is suggested for predicting the mode II fracture resistance of rock materials by considering the effects of specimen size, which is a modified form of the maximum tangential stress criterion which takes into account the second and third terms of Williams series expansion in addition to the singular terms.

Computational modeling of fracture in encapsulation-based self-healing concrete using cohesive elements
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of capsules including its volume ratio and core-shell thickness on the load carrying capacity and fracture likelihood of the capsules is investigated numerically, and it is found that the load-carrying capacity of self-healing concrete decreases as the capsules volume fraction increases.

Geometrical and structural aspects of concrete fracture
TL;DR: In this paper, the fracture mechanism of concrete has been studied in the softening regime of concrete and the results suggest that two basic mechanisms take place in this regime: the development of discrete perimeter cracks along the circumference of the specimen leading to a steep stress drop and bending of intact ligaments between the perimeter cracks leading to large deformations in a softening zone.

TL;DR: In this paper, the correlation between SPT and tensile mechanical properties of SS-316L thinner specimens in the range of 100-200μm was investigated and the transition zone between plate and membrane-like mechanical responses was identified.
