The Hybrid Boundary Element Method Applied to Linear Fracture Mechanics
The hybrid boundary element method, a variational formulation introduced in 1987 by the first author, has proven to be a powerful tool for dealing with a great variety of problems of potential, elastostatics and elastodynamics. One of the most recent endeavors of the research team at PUC-Rio is the application of the method to problems of the linear elastic fracture mechanics. In the M.Sc. diss...
متن کاملCracks Analysis in Zavin Concrete Dam Using Fracture Mechanics Approach
Most of the existing concrete dams are subjected to cracking. These cracks are caused by various factors such as construction practices, curing, loads and volume change of mass concrete which reduce the efficiency, failure or instability of concrete dams. Using fracture mechanics as a new method to estimate stability and durability of concrete dams is recommended in scientific publications in w...
متن کاملFatigue Failure of Structural Steel – Analysis Using Fracture Mechanics
Fatigue is the major threat in service of steel structure subjected to fluctuating loads. With the additional effect of corrosion and presence of weld joints the fatigue failure may become more critical in structural steel. One of the apt examples of such structural is the sailing ship. This is experiencing a constant stress due to floating and a pulsating bending load due to the waves. This pa...
متن کاملFracture mechanics
In this article, after a brief description of some signi®cant catastrophic structural failures going back to the period when iron and steel began to replace wood and masonry as the primary structural materials, the historical development of the ®eld of fracture mechanics is discussed. First, the basic concepts of the ®eld, the motivation underlying their development and the key contributions ma...
متن کاملCast iron component failure: A metallurgical investigation
A fractured nutcracker was examined for determining the root cause/s for premature fracture/failure. This is one of the common tools used typically for cracking hard nuts. In this study, metallurgical failure analysis techniques namely, visual inspection, optical microscopy, SEM, and hardness tests were used in investigating the broken product. From the metallurgical analysis, it was determined...
