The fracture behavior of brittle materials under different stress ratio has been investigated by means of numerical simulation method with software RFPA2D (Realistic Failure Process Analysis). The fracture dependence of brittle material on biaxial plane stress state was confirmed. The results show that the critical stress intensity factor under biaxial stress increases with the increase of biaxial stress ratio. The simulation tests reveal that the biaxial stresses have strong influence on the fracture properties of glass. The results confirmed that the strain criterion of fracture is feasible while brittle materials under complex stress state.

Work of fracture measurements and scanning electron microscope fractographs show that both enamel and dentin can best be considered as brittle materials with anisotropic fracture properties. Enamel is highly anisotropic, with the weakest path of fracture parallel to the enamel rods. Dentin is less anisotropic, with easiest fracture perpendicular to the dentinal tubules. A model is proposed to explain the fracture behavior of enamel.

Abstract Fatigue strength tests were carried out under plane banding loading with different stress ratio in Mg-Al-Ca-Mn alloy and its TIG and MIG welds. The welds showed lower fatigue strength compared to the base material. Weld defects were observed as fatigue crack origins in both TIG and MIG welds. It was speculated that difference in size of weld defect and multiple cracking occurred in MIG weld might affect fatigue strength characteristics in the welds. Effect of stress ratio on fatigue strength at 107 cycles was not significantly observed in fatigue test results obtained with different stress ratio in the base material and the welds. Scatter in size and distribution of weld defect could influence fatigue fracture behavior in the welds.

In this work, the effect of a sol-gel ZrO2–3 mol% Y2O3thin film on the fracture properties of a variety of brittle substrates was investigated. The results suggest that the film does not have any appreciable influence on the fracture behavior of crystalline substrates but dramatically affects the fracture properties of amorphous layers. In particular, a significant reduction of average fracture strength and a major increase of the Weibull modulus were observed on coated glassy slides. The origin of such variations is attributed to the generation of a homogeneous flaw population in the vitreous substrates, and the possible mechanisms for the production of flaws are analyzed. Implications of these results for the practical use of coated glassy layers are discussed.
