TLDR
In this article, path-independent integrals, of relevance in the presence of cracks, in elastic and inelastic solids are considered, and the physical interpretations of each of the integrals either in terms of crack-tip energy release rates or simply energy-rate differences in two comparison cracked-bodies are explored.

Crack tip and associated domain integrals from momentum and energy balance

TL;DR: A unified derivation of crack tip flux integrals and their associated domain representations is laid out in this article using a general balance statement as the starting point, and complementary integrals which are valid for general material response and arbitrary crack tip motion are obtained.

Extended finite element method for fracture analysis of structures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the literature on finite element fracture models and their application in the field of finite element finite element models (FEM) and fracture mechanics.

Path-independent integrals, energy release rates, and general solutions of near-tip fields in mixed-mode dynamic fracture mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the physical meaning of pathindependent integrals for elastodynamically propagating cracks introduced earlier by Atluri, Bui and Kishimoto et al. is addressed.

The Merging of Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics Concepts: A Historical Perspective

TL;DR: Small-crack theory has unified “fatigue” and “fracture mechanics” concepts; and has bridged the gap between safe-life and durability/damage-tolerance design concepts, so that fatigue damage can now be characterized by “crack size”.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fracture load predictions for adhesive joints

TL;DR: In this paper, the in-situ strength of the bondline can be characterized by the fracture envelope (critical energy release rate as a function of the mode of loading), for a specific adhesive system.

The Continuum Theory of Lattice Defects

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a discussion on the continuum theory of lattice defects, which is the usual theory of elasticity modified to include internal stress, and discuss some of the background principles and illustrates them by specific examples.

Conservation Laws and Energy-Release Rates

TL;DR: In this article, complex-variable forms for the conservation laws in the cases of linear, isotropic, plane elasticity are presented for the case of linear and isotropically elasticity.

On a class of conservation laws in linearized and finite elastostatics

TL;DR: In this article, ESHELBY deduced a surface-integral representation for the force on an elastic singularity or inhomogeneity, which gives rise to a conservation law for regular elastostatic fields appropriate to homogeneous but not necessarily isotropic solids in the presence of infinitesimal deformations.

A Fracture Mechanics Approach to Creep Crack Growth

TL;DR: In this article, a fracture mechanics approach was used to study high-temperature creep crack propagation, and crack growth rates were correlated with the C*-parameter which is an energy rate line integral.
