TL;DR: In this paper, singular stress and strain fields are found at the tip of a crack growing steadily and quasi-statically into an elastic-plastic strain-hardening material, characterized by J2 flow theory together with a bilinear effective stress-strain curve.
Abstract: Singular stress and strain fields are found at the tip of a crack growing steadily and quasi-statically into an elastic-plastic strain-hardening material. The material is characterized byJ2 flow theory together with a bilinear effective stress-strain curve. The cases of anti-plane shear, plane stress and plane strain are each considered. Numerical results are given for the order of the singularity, details of the stress and strain-rate fields, and the near-tip regions of plastic loading and elastic unloading.

TL;DR: In this paper, the low cycle fatigue and fatigue crack propagation of Inconel 718 alloy and Waspaloy were investigated at 25, 550 and 650 °C and the qualitative observations indicate that there exists a close correspondence between the near-threshold regime and stage I crack initiation in low-cycle fatigue.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple fracture theory which consists in using a dynamic crack initiation toughness, a crack orientation along the maximum principal stress and a simple equation for the calculation of the crack speed is explained and interpreted using X-FEM simulations.
