A finite element model with slip-oxidation is proposed for solving intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) duplex oxides replicating the cyclic physics of slip oxidation. The purpose to investigate crack growth effect due different rate, compositions and kinetics oxide. based on a coupling between cohesive zone formulation, diffusion model. formulation includes degradation which linked ...

Evidence has accumulated recently that a crack can propagate on an interface between dissimilar solids at speeds between the smallest and the largest sonic speeds of the constituent solids. Such an intersonic crack has posed several challenges to the existing theory. Assuming that the crack tip is a structureless point, and the solids are linearly elastic all the way to the crack tip, the theor...

Recently published data for fracture in human humeral cortical bone are analyzed using cohesive-zone models to deal with the nonlinear processes of material failure. Such models represent the nonlinear deformation processes involved in fracture by cohesive tractions exerted by the failing material along a fracture process zone, rather than attributing all damage to a process occurring at a sing...

Micro-cracking in polycrystalline Silicon is a serious concern for the durability of photovoltaic (PV) modules due to the resulting electrical power-loss. In this contribution, a thermo-mechanical cohesive zone model is proposed to predict the evolution of micro-cracks under the action of mechanical and thermal loads. The classical nonlinear cohesive zone approach, used in fracture mechanics to...
