  2. Fracture toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_toughness

    Plane strain conditions give the lowest fracture toughness value which is a material property. The critical value of stress intensity factor in mode I loading measured under plane strain conditions is known as the plane strain fracture toughness, denoted . [1] When a test fails to meet the thickness and other test requirements that are in place ...

  3. Plane stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_stress

    Figure 7.1 Plane stress state in a continuum. In continuum mechanics, a material is said to be under plane stress if the stress vector is zero across a particular plane. When that situation occurs over an entire element of a structure, as is often the case for thin plates, the stress analysis is considerably simplified, as the stress state can be represented by a tensor of dimension 2 ...

  4. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    The fracture toughness and the critical strain energy release rate for plane stress are related by = where is the Young's modulus. If an initial crack size is known, then a critical stress can be determined using the strain energy release rate criterion.

  5. Fracture mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_mechanics

    Concrete fracture analysis is part of fracture mechanics that studies crack propagation and related failure modes in concrete. [17] As it is widely used in construction, fracture analysis and modes of reinforcement are an important part of the study of concrete, and different concretes are characterized in part by their fracture properties. [ 18 ]

  7. Critical plane analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_plane_analysis

    The chief advantage of critical plane analysis over earlier approaches like Sines rule, or like correlation against maximum principal stress or strain energy density, is the ability to account for damage on specific material planes. This means that cases involving multiple out-of-phase load inputs, or crack closure can be treated with high ...

  8. Forming limit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forming_limit_diagram

    With the definition of the onset of local necking (e. g. membrane force reaches an extreme value) and the assumption of a hardening law according to Hollomon (σ = K ε n) it can be shown that the corresponding theoretical plane strain forming limit is identical with the strain hardening coefficient, n. There is no thickness effect.
