Good Agreement

This paper deals with the fracture behaviour of layered ceramic composite with residual stresses. The main goal is to investigate the effect of residual stresses and material interfaces on crack propagation by more complex 3D finite element models. The crack behaviour was described by analytical procedures based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and generalized LEFM. The influence of laminate composition with residual stresses on critical values for crack propagation through the laminate interfaces was also determined. Good agreement has been found to exist between numerical results and experimental data. The results obtained can be used for a design of new layered composites with improved resistance against crack propagation.

Compressive Residual Stresses

The Navarro-Rios micromechanical model was used to assess the bounds of two different damage zones: crack arrest region and crack propagation region of controlled shot peening (CSP) of high strength aluminium alloys. Performance of CSP in terms of fatigue resistance was investigated. This comparison indicated that CSP in terms of fatigue depends on the competition between its beneficial and detrimental products, i.e. surface roughness and compressive residual stresses respectively. The gathered information can be used for safe load determinations in design.

The aim of the present work is to analyze the influence of residual stresses in the particulate ceramic composite on the crack propagation. The crack propagation direction was estimated using Sih’s criterion based on the strain energy density factor. A two-dimensional finite element model was developed for determination of crack path. The residual stresses resulting from the mismatch of coefficients of thermal expansion during the fabrication process of the composite were implemented to the computational model. The effect of the particles shape on the crack propagation was investigated. Conclusions of this paper can contribute to a better understanding of the propagation of micro-cracks in particulate composites in the field of residual stresses.
