Fracture and stability of materials and structural members with cracks: approaches and results

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

A new alternative approach to fracture problems for materials and structural elements with cracks is set out. It is based on the mechanism of local instability near defects. The approach is used to study the fracture of materials compressed along interacting cracks and the fracture of thin structural members with cracks under tension with allowance for local buckling.
