The effect of varying loading directions and loading levels on crack growth at 2D- and 3D-mixed-mode-loadings
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 38
Abstract
While product’s operation the loading situation commonly changes. The local loading situation on an existing crack then can shift to a combined loading, composed of mode I, mode II and mode III, and consequently influence the product’s durability significantly. This influence on further fatigue crack growth and structures’ failure can be positive or negative. Present article describes and discusses the effect of varying loading directions from mode I- to 2D-mixed-mode-loading as well as from mode I- to mixedmode I + III-loading. Moreover, experiments on varying loading levels are performed by interspersing mixed-mode block loads in cyclic mode I base load, cyclic mode II base load as well as in cyclic mode III base load

Definition of the linearity loss of the surface temperature in static tensile tests
Static tensile tests on material for mechanical constructions have pointed out the linearity loss of the surface temperature with the application of load. This phenomenon is due to the heat generation caused by t...
Interaction of shear and normal stresses in multiaxial fatigue damage analysis
Due to the abundance of engineering components subjected to complex multiaxial loading histories, being able to accurately estimate fatigue damage under multiaxial stress states is a fundamental step in many...
A consistency assessment of coupled cohesive zonemodels for mixed-mode debonding problems
Due to their simplicity, cohesive zone models (CZMs) are very attractive to describe mixed-modefailure and debonding processes of materials and interfaces. Although a large number of coupled CZMs havebeen proposed,...
