Development and Application of Crack Parameters

  • Conference paper
Book cover Security and Reliability of Damaged Structures and Defective Materials

Abstract

The development, definition and implementation of crack parameters (stress intensity factor, crack tip open displacement, J integral, final stretch zone) are presented. They are now used for structural integrity and residual life assessment and fracture analysis of cracked components in elastic and plastic range, what is illustrated by typical examples.
