Fracture toughness is a structural elements property. Critical values of the J - integral, JIC measured according to the standards requirements, when transferred to engineering applications can lead to a significant conservatism in assessing integrity of a structure. In the article the formulae to estimate the fracture toughness taking into account the in-plane constraint in elements are proposed. These formulae are based on the analysis of the stress field in front of the crack proposed by Hutchinson, Rice and Rosengren (HRR), and O'Dowd's, Shih's modifications of HRR field, as well as the analysis of the stress field in front of the crack, computed numerically.

Summary In spite of growing evidence that many earthquakes are preceded by increased seismic activity, the nature of this activity is still poorly understood. Is it the result of a mostly random process related to the natural tendency of seismic events to cluster in time and space, in which case there is little hope to ever predict earthquakes? Or is it the sign that a physical process that will lead to the impending rupture has begun, in which case we should attempt to identify this process. With this aim we take a further look at the nucleation of two of the best recorded and documented strike-slip earthquakes to date, the 1999 Izmit and Düzce earthquakes which ruptured the North Anatolian Fault over ∼200 km. We show the existence of a remarkable mechanical logic linking together nucleation characteristics, stress loading, fault geometry and rupture speed. In both earthquakes the observations point to slow aseismic slip occurring near the ductile-to-brittle transition zone as the motor of their nucleation.
