Abstract

Structural life assessment (SLA) is a diversified field and is based on the theories of fracture mechanics, fatigue damage process, probability of failure and reliability. SLA is not only governed by the theory of fracture mechanics and fatigue damage process, but by the type of loading. The theory of fracture mechanics may be classified into quasi-static fracture mechanic and dynamic fracture mechanics. The problem of singularity encountered in fracture mechanics has been resolved by the new theory of peridynamics described by integro-differential equation of motion. The basic ingredients of the theory of fracture mechanics will be presented in terms of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and elasto-plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM) , dynamic fracture mechanics and peridynamics. The amount of energy available for fracture is usually governed by the stress field around the crack, which is measured by the stress intensity factor. SLA depends on the failure modes and the probabilistic description of failure.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that the term “rate” does not refer to derivative with respect to time. In this context it refers to derivative with respect to the size of the crack.
