ON SHORT CRACKS THAT DEPART FROM ELASTOPLASTIC NOTCH TIPS

On short cracks that depart from elastoplastic notch tips

The behavior of short cracks that depart from elastoplastic notch tips is modeled to estimate the stresses required to initiate and to propagate cracks in notched structural components, and to evaluate the size of tolerable crack-like defects under general loading conditions.This analysis can model both fatigue and environmentally assisted cracking

Evaluation of the Low-Temperature Cracking Performance of Recycled Asphalt Mixture: A Development of Equivalent Fracture Temperature

This study aims to develop a new index to evaluate the low-temperature cracking performance (LTCP) of recycled asphalt mixtures.To achieve this, the assumption that fracture energy has limitation in evaluating the LTCP of mixtures was maybelline green concealer put forward firstly.To reveal this limitation theoretically, a concept of energy absorpt
