Cracks in functionally graded materials

TL;DR: In this paper, failure of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) under cyclic surface heating by laser irradiation is modeled on the basis of fracture mechanics, which can be understood as an effect of progressive shrinkage due to sintering and high-temperature creep during thermal cycling, which increases the energy-release rate for vertical cracks which subsequently turn into delamination cracks.

Optimal strength and toughness of Al2O3–ZrO2 laminates designed with external or internal compressive layers

TL;DR: In this article, two alumina-zirconia laminates with external (ECS-laminates) and internal (ICS-laminate) compressive stresses have been investigated using a fracture mechanics weight function analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction of the fracture toughness of a ceramic multilayer composite – Modeling and experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure to predict the fracture toughness of a ceramic multilayer composite made of different phases is presented, which requires experiments to measure the intrinsic fracture toughness and to determine the required material data.

The axisymmetric crack problem in a nonhomogeneous medium

TL;DR: In this article, the axisymmetric crack problem for a nonhomogeneous medium is considered and the main results given are the stress intensity factors as a function of the nonhomogeneity parameter alpha for various loading conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effective fracture toughness in Al2O3–Al2O3/ZrO2 laminates

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of geometrical parameters such as thickness, number of layers and tension/compression thickness ratio on the apparent R -curve was analyzed for different multilayers.

The stress analysis of cracks handbook

TL;DR: The Stress Analysis of Cracks Handbook as mentioned in this paper provides a comprehensive, easy-to-access collection of elastic stress solutions for crack configurations, along with other relevant information, such as displacements, crack opening areas, basic stress functions source references, accuracy of solutions, and more.

On the Stress Distribution at the Base of a Stationary Crack

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that at the base of the crack in the direction of its prolongation, the principal stresses are equal, thus tending toward a two-dimensional (two-dimensional) hydrostatic tension.

Some remarks on elastic crack-tip stress fields

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the displacement field and stress intensity factor are known as functions of crack length for any symmetrical load system acting on a linear elastic body in plane strain, then the stress intensity factors for any other symmetric load system whatsoever on the same body may be directly determined.

A novel principle for the computation of stress intensity factors

TL;DR: In this paper, a state of plane strain in a notched or cracked elastic domain under the action of boundary tractions is considered, and the stress intensity factor K at a root of a notch can be re presented in the form of a weighted average of the tractions.
