Featuring in-depth discussions on tensile and compressive properties, shear properties,
strength, hardness, environmental effects, and creep crack growth," Mechanical Properties …

With its combination of practicality, readability, and rigor that is characteristic of any truly
authoritative reference and text, Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications quickly …

Ni-and Ni, Fe-based superalloys are used extensively in the hot sections of gas turbines in
the aerospace and power generation industries. One way to improve the performance of …

Based on the concept of configurational forces, the driving force of cracks in elastic–plastic,
creeping materials is derived. In a numerical study, the variation of the crack driving force …

The fracture mechanisms operating in metallic and ceramic materials are summarized and
the ranges of stress and temperature in which each of them dominates are shown on a …

Advanced Fracture Mechanics and Structural Integrity is organized to cover quantitative
descriptions of crack growth and fracture phenomena. The mechanics of fracture are …

Creep and creep–fatigue considerations are important in predicting the remaining life and
safe inspection intervals as part of maintenance programs for components operating in …

Results obtained from a European collaborative project aimed at producing a draft code of
practice for creep crack growth testing are presented. The tests were performed on an …

In this paper, the historical context of the development of what is now known as 'Fracture
Mechanics' is selectively developed. We start from the safety and economic motivations, and …

Finite element solutions for near tip stress and deformation fields in elastic-power law
creeping solids are used to investigate the dominance of the asymptotic crack tip fields. With …
