Undesirable fracture resistance has led to critical safety concerns in ultra-high strength
quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steels. The present work proposes a new heat treatment …

Crack tip plasticity and fracture toughness are usually connected with T-stresses under
mixed mode I/II loading conditions. By means of von Mises yield criterion, a new analytical …

In this work, the fracture prediction method based on two-parameter JA d*(J-integral and a
new load-independent unified constraint parameter A d*) with considering both in-plane and …

Three-point bending tests were performed on pre-notched beams to investigate the fracture
properties of concrete under cycling loading. Electronic speckle pattern Interferometry (ESPI) …

Failure assessment diagram (FAD) is affected by constraints, and it has been corrected by in-
plane T-stress (T 11) in the R6 defect assessment procedure, but the influence of out-of …

In order to develop unified constraint-based fracture assessment method, it needs to
investigate the effects of material properties and mismatches on the unified constraint …

In structural integrity assessment based on the two-parameter approach with considering
constraint, it is an important step to establish a correlation between fracture toughness and …

The constraint and fracture initiation for semi-elliptical surface cracks in an actual large scale
reactor pressure vessel (RPV) have been investigated by finite element analysis. The results …

The fracture toughness resistance curve (eg, JR curve and crack tip opening displacement
(CTOD) or δ-R curve) is important in facilitating strain-based design and integrity …

The low damage resistance and fracture toughness hinder the widespread application of
ultrahigh-strength dual phase (DP) steels. In this work, we propose a novel strategy to …
