Non-propogation crack criteria and fracture criteria in the case of mixed-mode fracture, taking into account the deterioration

Abstract

The paper develops in the case of mixed-mode fracture: criteria of nonpropagation crack and fracture criteria, for mechanical structures, taking into account the deterioration, namely general relations for the superposition of loadings corresponding to the three fracture modes. It refers to the concepts of stress intensity factor, crack tip opening displacement and J-integral; new fracture criteria taking into account the deterioration, the rate of loading and the scattering of the material characteristics were established. The relations obtained have been compared and verified against experimental data and empirical relations reported in literature. The numerical example allows one to comprehend the practical use of the established relations.
