Abstract The adhesive sealant is a crucial structure connecting color filters and thin film transistors in liquid crystal panels. Research on the fracture progress of the connection structure is heavily needed in reliability evaluation engineering. In this work, three types of adhesive sealants with different widths were tested by the uniaxial tensile experiment to obtain their fracture process curves, which conformed to the brittle fracture characteristics described by the bilinear cohesion zone model. Then, according to the theory of engineering fracture mechanics, the Dugdale-Barenblatt plastic zone model was employed to analyze the adhesive sealant with hole defects, and it was simplified to mode ? fracture mechanics problem. Calculating with finite element numerical simulation, the numerical relationship between the stress field of the internal defect and the external stress of the material was obtained, and the brittle fracture behavior model was deduced as related to the defect size. Applying the model to the adhesive sealant, the average error of the model value after the correction was reduced from 7.98-12.13% to 6.84-7.53%, and the overall error was only within 15%. The model includes the material’s basic characteristics and the defect’s size that affect the fracture process, provides a theoretical basis for predicting the fracture of the sealant and improving the strength of bonded joints, thus is of great significance for material application and fracture analysis in engineering.

Cracks of up to 40 μm which are either transgranular cleavage or very low energy “ductile” cracks have been introduced into large-grained fcc Ni. The mechanism for introducing this brittle fracture was dynamic indentation. Optical and scanning electron microscopy together with use of selected area channeling patterns were used to confirm that the fracture process is transgranular. The results qualitatively support the hypothesis that dynamic cracks originating in a brittle film can propagate relatively large distances into a ductile face-centered-cubic substrate by a rapid, low energy process.

The fracture process of energy pipelines can be described in terms of fracture initiation, stable fracture propagation and final fracture or fracture arrest. Each of these stages, and the final fracture mode (leak or rupture), are directly impacted by the tendency towards brittle or ductile behavior that line pipe steels have the capacity to exhibit. Vintage and modern low carbon steels, such as those used to manufacture energy pipelines, exhibit a temperature-dependent transition from ductile-to-brittle behavior that affects the fracture behavior. There are numerous definitions of fracture toughness in common usage, depending on the stage of the fracture process and the behavior or fracture mode being evaluated. The most commonly used definitions in engineering fracture analysis of pipelines with cracks or long-seam weld defects are related to fracture initiation, stable propagation or final fracture. When choosing fracture toughness test data for use in engineering Fracture Mechanics-based assessments of energy pipelines, it is important to identify the stage of the fracture process and the expected fracture behavior in order to appropriately select test data that represent equivalent conditions. A mismatch between the physical fracture event being modeled and the chosen experimental fracture toughness data can result in unreliable predictions or overly conservative results. This paper presents a description of the physical fracture process, behavior and failure modes that pipelines commonly exhibit as they relate to fracture toughness testing, and their implications when evaluating cracks and cracks-like features in pipelines. Because pipeline operators, and practitioners of engineering Fracture Mechanics analyses, are often faced with the challenge of only having Charpy fracture toughness available, this paper also presents a review of the various correlations of Charpy toughness data to fracture toughness data expressed in terms of KIC or JIC. Considerations with the selection of an appropriate correlation for determining the failure pressure of pipelines in the presence of cracks and long-seam weld anomalies will be discussed.

This article describes an investigation into the ability of a number of different fracture mechanics approaches to predict failure by brittle fracture under general elastic/plastic loading. Data obtained from C(T) specimens of A508 ferritic steel subjected to warm pre-stressing and side punching were chosen as such prior loadings produce considerably non-proportionality in the resulting stress states. In addition, failure data from a number of round notched bar specimens of A508 steel were considered for failure with and without prior loading. Failure prediction, based on calibration to specimens in the as received state, was undertaken using two methods based on the J integral and two based on local approach methodologies.

Abstract A detailed fracture mechanics evaluation is the most accurate and reliable prediction of process equipment susceptibility to brittle fracture. This article provides an overview and discussion on brittle fracture. The discussion covers the purpose for evaluating, provides a brief summary of historical failures that were found to be a result of brittle fracture, and describes key components that drive susceptibility to a brittle fracture failure, namely stress, toughness/temperature, and flaw size. It also presents industry codes and standards that assess susceptibility to brittle fracture. Additionally, a series of case study examples are presented that demonstrate assessment procedures used to mitigate the risk of brittle fracture in process equipment.

The report discusses the principles of two major theories of fracture mechanics of bodies with cracks, which include the theory of accumulation of damage Kachanov–Rabotnov and theory of brittle fracture Griffith–Irwin, including the invariant integral Cherepanov–Rice, describing the criterion of growth the crack. To assess the application of these theories to the calculation of asphalt concrete, laboratory test data are given and based on their analysis the appropriate conclusions.

As new structural concepts such as partial prestressing and steel-free bridge decks are more widely accepted and used, there is an increasing need for a reliable and reproducible fracture performance criterion that can describe resistance to crack growth. The required criterion should also be easy to determine experimentally so that it can be incorporated in structural specifications. The nonlinear behaviour of concrete and masonry materials suggested that quasi-brittle fracture mechanics approaches may be the most suitable for determining their fracture performance. The effective elastic crack model originally developed by Karihaloo and Nallathambi (1989) was modified to evaluate the critical crack depth under pure flexural stresses. A computer program was developed to calculate this depth iteratively from the experimental results. An experimental programme examining the fracture performance of four different structural materials (high performance concrete, mortar, fibre reinforced concrete, and masonry units) was carried out to examine the applicability of the model. As no post-peak data are required for the analysis, the model allows the use of a simple test setup to evaluate the fracture performance of quasi-brittle materials experimentally.Key words: fracture toughness, linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), elastoplastic fracture mechanics (EPFM), quasi-brittle fracture mechanics, effective elastic crack, high performance concrete, masonry, fibre reinforced concrete.
