Crack Tip Opening

Based on the principle of electrical measurement method, the clip gauge was made to measure the crack opening displacement (COD).Through the three-point bending test on the specimens of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFHSC), the effect of the fiber volume fraction (ρf) upon the critical crack opening displacement (the critical crack tip opening displacement and the critical crack mouth opening displacement) was studied. The result shows that the effect of ρf on mouth-tip ratio (the ratio of critical crack mouth opening displacement to critical crack tip opening displacement) can reflect its effect upon the critical crack opening displacement. According to the geometrical relationship between the initial crack length and the critical crack opening displacement，calculation method for the initial crack length was proposed. Based on the test result, the formula was established for calculating the critical crack tip opening displacement.

Brittle Material Removal

Finite element analysis of single grit rotating scratch on brittle materials was conducted using an “elastic-plastic-cracking” (EPC) model. The brittle material removal mechanism was modeled based on a critical crack-opening displacement criterion. It was found that the tangential and normal force profiles as well as the damage morphology observed in scratch experiments were fully captured by the EPC model. The results revealed that the induced damage zone size increases linearly with a brittleness parameter EY/σf21/3 as well as the maximum depth of cut.

Performance Research

The performance research of Friction Stir Weld’s Joints of Aluminum Alloy under different welding parameters is very necessary and valuable in the engineering. Two points is proposed in this paper. One is the new fracture criterion using the function curve of the value of critical crack opening displacement (|CODc|) as a fracture parameter, the other is using critical crack opening angle (CTOA) as a fracture parameter.

Displacement Approach

An introduction is given to the fracture mechanics approach employing the concept of crack opening displacement for application to situations in which linear elastic fracture mechanics is invalidated by yielding. The hypothesis of a critical crack opening displacement to fracture has been examined experimentally using mild steel specimens of vastly differing dimensions. Subsidiary experiments have been carried out to define the factors responsible for the apparent effect of absolute size on the results. A theoretical analysis simulates elastic-plastic conditions to give a relationship between applied stresses and strains, crack length, and crack opening displacement.

Wedge Splitting

This paper deals with the results obtained from the employment of a selected fracture model to evaluate wedge splitting fracture tests carried out on hemp fibre concrete specimens. The research work was focused mainly on the effect of the dosage and length of hemp fibres on the initiation part of crack propagation in concrete specimens, and on critical crack opening displacement. Concrete mixtures with different volumetric dosages (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 %) and fibre lengths (10, 20 and 40 mm) were prepared, and six identical specimens were cast from each mixture. Specimens were also cast from a reference mixture, which was without fibres. The specimens were provided with an initial notch and tested using the wedge splitting test method. Load versus crack mouth opening displacement diagrams were recorded during testing and (after data filtering and appropriate modifications) subsequently evaluated using the Double-K fracture model. This model allows the evaluation of two material parameters – the initiation fracture toughness, which defines the onset of stable crack propagation, and the unstable fracture toughness, which defines the onset of unstable cracking or failure. Finally, the critical crack opening displacement was determined with the assumption of the bilinear function of softening in tension.
