A review of using thermoelasticity for structural integrity assessment
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 27
Abstract
The advances in the use of thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) for fracture mechanics assessment are reviewed. The development of techniques to determine stress intensity factor is presented followed by the application of these techniques to fatigue crack growth, crack closure and the study of mixed mode cracks.

A new formulation for estimating maximum stress intensity factor atthe mid plane of a SENB specimen: Study based on 3D FEA
In this investigation, three-dimensional elastic finite element analyses have been conducted tocompute the stress intensity factor (KI) in a SENB specimen with varied thickness (B) and crack-length to widthratio (a...
Paths of interactive cracks in creep conditions
The paper contains plane strain analysis of uniformly stretched plate working in creep condition. The plate contains initial defects in forms of central and/or edge cracks working in mode I. These cracks are ...
