This paper reviews crack tip asymptotic fields in generic plane anisotropic media, rigorously
categorising about 400 studies devoted to the determination of the asymptote coefficients …

This article applies the finite element over-deterministic (FEOD) method to determine the
coefficients of the crack tip asymptotic fields in an anisotropic plane. This method relies on …

Stage I fatigue crack propagation along crystallographic slip planes was experimentally and
analytically investigated in a single crystal Ni-base superalloy, NKH-304. Fatigue crack …

Thermomechanical fatigue crack growth in a single crystal nickel base superalloy was
studied. Tests were performed on single edge notched specimens, using in phase and out of …

Predicting crack growth in structural components is a computationally intensive process.
Phase field models of crack growth reduce the computational complications associated with …

Micromechanical characterization of brittle ceramics remains challenging due to the difficulty
in sample preparation required by conventional tests. The micromechanical properties (eg …

This paper presents a novel modeling framework for predicting fatigue life performance with
varying film cooling holes (FCHs). Within this framework, in-situ crack propagation tests of …

Cracks in single-crystal nickel-base superalloys have been observed to switch cracking
mode from Mode I to crystallographic cracking. The crack propagation rate is usually higher …

Single-crystal nickel-base superalloys frequently experience two distinct fatigue crack
growth modes. It has been observed that, under certain conditions, cracks transition from a …

In fatigue life prediction of single crystal gas turbine blades, the risk of rapid crystallographic
crack growth along the close-packed planes poses a large uncertainty. A criterion is …
