Energy-based approach for fracture assessment of several rocks containing U-shaped notches through the application of the SED criterion
This work presents an energetic continuum approach for the fracture assessment of rocks containing U-shaped notches and subjected to Mode I loading conditions. Three different... Read More
Critical distance default values for structural steels and a simple formulation to estimate the apparent fracture toughness in u-notched conditions
The structural integrity assessment of components containing notch-type defects has been the subject of extensive research in the last few decades. The assumption that notches... Read More
Study of the influence of notch radii and temperature on the probability of failure: A methodology to perform a combined assessment
The fracture assessment of notched components based on cracked components approaches leads to over-conservative failure predictions. In the research literature, several approaches are proposed to... Read More
