Fracture mechanics and strength of materials: Advances and prospects

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

Abstract

We analyze the principal stages of the development of fracture mechanics and strength of materials in the second half of the last century. Our attention is mainly focused on the analysis of the computational models of limiting equilibrium of deformable solid bodies with sharp stress concentrators (cracks), on the development of the methods aimed at evaluation of the stress intensity factors, on the methods and means of experimental determination of the characteristics of crack resistance of the material, on the concepts of initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks, and on the processes of cracking of materials in the zone of cyclic contact of two bodies. New approaches to the evaluation of the period of initiation of fatigue macrocracks near stress concentrators based on the use of the conventional v-K diagrams for a given material are proposed, the influence of working media on the corrosion crack-growth resistance of structural materials is analyzed, and the basic (computational) fatigue crack growth curves for the evaluation of the strength characteristics of high-pressure vessels are constructed. Some promising problems in this field of science are formulated.
