The crack, which occurs because of fatigue, should often consider not only the single crack but also plural cracks occurring. In this paper, the material strength when two or more cracks occurred because of fatigue etc. was examined by calculating stress intensity factor K value by using caustics method and the photoelasticity. In general, plural cracks are known KI value decreases compared with the single crack. Therefore, the influence on K value was experimentally examined from the point of the distance between the cracks, the angle, and the crack length and the mode change. As a result, KI value influences destruction in plural in exist only mode I and the mixed mode of mode I and mode Ⅱ like this research cracks. When the crack length becomes long if the distance between the cracks narrows, the decrease of KI value grows. In addition, it has been understood that the decrease of KI value is influenced by a/w on the boundary of d/a=1 (the distance between the cracks is equal to the crack length).

In the present paper, experimental investigation on the fracture of aluminum alloy AA3003 are conducted on the Compact Tension Shear CTS specimen non-welded and CTS specimen welded by FSW process under mixed mode loading by using Arcan loading device based on Richard’s principle suitable for mixed mode. All loading in mixed mode starting from pure tension (mode I) up to pure shear (mode II) can be obtained and tested by varying the loading angles from 0° to 90°. The stress intensity factor for the Compact Tension Shear (CTS) specimen are determined three normalized lengths cracks 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7.The length of notches influence on the variation of stress intensity factor KI, KII. For CTS specimen with notches with a short length, the values of KII are greater than those obtained for notches with a long length.

Abstract The critical stress intensity factor of mode I (K Ic) obtained by single-edge-notched bending (SENB) tests of wood was experimentally and numerically analyzed. A double cantilever beam (DCB) test was also conducted and the results were compared with those of SENB tests. The K Ic value was obtained by introducing an additional crack length into the equations used for analyzing the SENB test of isotropic material when the initial crack length ranged from 0.1 to 0.6 times the depth of the specimen.

In this work,we tented to study the mixed mode of failure with two angles of inclination, of a treated steel, for that we tried to determine the parameters of failure as the stress intensity factor, tenacity and the critical energy in mixed mode of a rupture and see the criterion of rupture and seeing the effect of the angles evolution applied for all parameters. of in our close there is a fragile and less ductile rupture.

Extended finite element method (XFEM) and second-order perturbation technique (SOPT) were combinedly utilized using interaction integral (M-integral) through partition of unity method to find out the mean and variance of mixed mode stress intensity factor (MMSIF). Uncertain system parameters are considered in material properties, crack length, crack orientation, gradient coefficients in the present study. MMSIF in a numerical example with center crack is computed to validate the accuracy of the presented model. Finally, typical numerical results are presented to examine the different modulus ratios, crack angle, crack length, position of crack and tensile, shear and combined loadings with uncertain system properties on the MMSIF.

In this paper, considering different parameters and various patch materials, the effect of disbond on the efficiency and durability of a composite patch repair is investigated in mode I and mixed-mode. One of the most important aspects of the composite patch repair is the bond strength. Repair patch disbond may occur at the patch edges or the crack site. At first, the effect of different parameters such as repair patch material and Young’s modulus and thickness of the adhesive on the efficiency and durability of the patch is investigated. Then, the effect of the disbond site on the stress intensity factor (patch efficiency) and adhesive stress (patch durability) is analyzed in both modes I and II. The results show that disbond at the crack site leads to a further reduction in patch efficiency compared to the patch edge disbond, but when separation occurs at the patch edge, the adhesive stress and the disbond growth rate are higher. Also, when 15% of the patch is separated in the crack site, for the longitudinal and transverse disbond modes, the mean KI is increased by 8 and 4%, respectively, compared to the state without disbond. Thus, the longitudinal disbond mode is more critical.

Wheel rail rolling contact fatigue is a very common form of damage, which can lead to uneven rail treads, railhead nuclear damage, etc. Therefore, ANSYS software was used to establish a three-dimensional wheel–rail contact model and analyze the effects of several main characteristics, such as the rail crack length and crack propagation angle, on the fatigue crack intensity factor during crack propagation. The main findings were as follows: (1) With the rail crack length increasing, the position where the crack propagated by mode I moved from the inner edge of the wheel–rail contact spot to the outer edge. When the crack propagated to 0.3–0.5 mm, it propagated to the rail surface, causing the rail material to peel or fall off and other damage. (2) When the crack propagation angle was less than 30°, the cracks were mainly mode II cracks. When the angle was between 30 and 70°, the cracks were mode I–II cracks. When the angle was more than 70°, the cracks were mainly mode I cracks. When the crack propagation angle was 60°, the equivalent stress intensity factor reached the maximum, and the rail cracks propagated the fastest.
