Abstract

The current understanding and modelling of crack-tip failure micromechanisms in engineering materials have neglected the crucial role of the ubiquitous residual stresses which can have over-riding effects on the mechanical and fracture properties. This paper discusses the origins of residual stresses and attempts to highlight the essential role played by these stresses in controlling the various crack-tip failure processes and the concomitant fracture resistance of ceramics, glass-ceramics and composites. The interplay of these and crack-tip stresses in dictating the various micromechanisms of failure are described. The control of these stresses to improve the fracture resistance and crack growth stability in some engineering materials are also being discussed.
