Energy release rate for non smooth cracks in planar elasticity

We extend the results of [11] about the large time behaviour of the solution (dispersion faster than usual with an additional logarithmic factor, convergence of the rescaled modulus

To build the incremental model for fatigue crack growth, the kinematic displacement field in the crack tip region is decomposed into an elastic field and a plastic

The grid method was employed here to measure the dis- placement, strain and local rotation fields near the crack tip of a pre-cracked specimen subjected to a tensile test. It has

One of the difficulties in the analysis of the Boussinesq problem at large Rayleigh numbers in a vertical cylinder is the presence of unstable planar fronts that make uniform

As for the scalar elastic problem addressed in the main text, the diculty is to place properly the frame origin at the true tip of the continuum-level scale crack in a lattice which

In the present thesis, we have proposed novel numerical methods to solve flows of compressible materials, including fluids and elastic solids, in different regimes.. Moreover,

First results demonstrate the relevance of the method: the set-up is successfully used to measure the crystallinity distribution around a fatigue crack tip in a carbon black

This proposition is explored by taking into account modified crack lengths for some of the SENT tests, mea- suring the length of the rough surface on postmortem specimen (Note that
