Spontaneous Crack Propagation In Functionally Graded Materials
(2009-10-28)Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are composites that have continuously varying material properties, which eliminate undesirable stress concentrations that might otherwise occur in layered composites. The concept of ... -
Strength Prediction And Fatigue De-Bond Growth In Bonded Joints In Metallic And Composite Structures
(2013-05-23)Large scale structures such as those in aerospace flight vehicles are made in parts and assembled. Joints are inevitable in these systems and they are potential threats to the structural integrity of the flight vehicles. ... -
Studies on Fracture and Fatigue Behavior of Cementitious Materials- Effects of Interfacial Transition Zone, Microcracking and Aggregate Bridging
(2018-05-14)The microstructure of concrete contains random features over a wide range of length scales in which each length scale possess a new random composite. The influence of individual material constituents at different scales ... -
Studies on the Modeling of Fatigue Crack Growth and Damage in Concrete : A Thermodynamic Approach
(2018-01-11)Fatigue in concrete is a complex phenomenon involving formation of microcracks, their coalescence into major crack and simultaneous formation of the fracture process zone ahead of the crack tip. Complex phenomena are best ... -
