Brittle failure of components weakened by cracks or sharp and blunt V-notches is a topic of
active and continuous research. It is attractive for all researchers who face the problem of …

An overview of past research on T-stress is presented in this paper. Beginning with the
origin of T-stress, the authors discuss different phenomena associated with T-stress: crack …

The present paper deals with multiaxial fatigue behaviour of severely notched components
made of titanium grade 5 alloy (Ti–6Al–4V). The experimental tests have been carried out …

The fatigue crack growth behavior in welds is difficult to evaluate due to complex internal
stresses and microstructural differences. This paper uses the CJP model based on …

In order to more accurately understand and predict the fatigue crack growth behavior in
welded structures, a fatigue crack tip field model considering residual stress and plasticity …

This paper experimentally studies the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of AH36 grade
marine steel under variable amplitude loading. FCG testing is conducted using compact …

A theoretical analytical solution of the Christopher-James-Patterson (CJP) model in mixed
mode is presented in this paper, where the influence of roughness-induced crack closure …

This study develops a facile approach to fabricate adhesives consists of epoxy and cost-
effective graphene platelets (GnPs). Morphology, mechanical properties, electrical and …

The plastic crack tip opening displacement (CTODp) is considered to replace ΔK in the study
of fatigue crack propagation. The cyclic plastic deformation of the 7050‐T6 aluminium alloy …

Theoretical predictions using conventional fracture criteria indicate that the theoretical
approaches are not compatible with the experimental data. The most important reasons for …
