Dalla frattura alla scienza dei metalli
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2008, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
La frattura inizia ad essere considerata oggetto di studio da Leonardo da Vinci e trova in Vannoccio Biringucci ed in Galileo Galilei i precursori di un approccio scientifico al come e perchè si produce una rottura. Nell'arco di poco più di un secolo, il sedicesimo, si trovano i primi riferimenti scritti di esperienze e interpretazioni su cui lavorare: i limiti tecnologici e di conoscienza scientifica dei materiali allora disponibili hanno impedito una interpretazione soddisfacente del fenomeno della rottura. Sarebbero occorsi altri due secoli per collegare una relazione lineare, prima forza e deformazione, e poi tensione e deformazione

Gradient enriched linear-elastic crack tip stresses to estimate the static strength of cracked engineering ceramics
According to Gradient Mechanics (GM), stress fields have to be determined by directly incorporating into the stress analysis a length scale which that takes into account the material microstructural features. This...
Crack front segmentation under combined mode I- and mode III- loading
This article approaches the topic of crack initiation and crack growth behaviour under combined mode I- and mode III-loading conditions. Such loading combinations especially lead to a crack, which unscrew out...
Temporal peculiarities of brittle fracture of rocks and concrete
When we want to compare the strength of two materials, we compare the table values of quasi-static strength. However results of some experiments show that the strength ratio of the materials can change with increas...
Characterization of mechanical damage in granite
This paper aims to illustrate the use of infrared thermography as a non-destructive and non-contact technique to observe the phenomenological manifestation of damage in granite under unconfined compression. It allo...
Crack path simulation for cylindrical contact under fretting conditions
In this work different strategies to estimate crack path for cylindrical contacts under fretting conditions are carried out. The main goal is to propose and to evaluate methodologies not only to estimate the ...
