Abstract

The mechanisms of fracture which may be encountered in engineering structures can be classified into two general groups. The first category is termed “brittle fracture”, which occurs in brittle materials such as glass, or in mild steel at very low temperature. Brittle fracture may also occur in most other engineering materials under very high loading rates or under the “plane strain” conditions encountered in heavy sectioned structural parts where the dimensions of the original defect are small compared to the characteristic dimensions of the part. This type of fracture is associated with relatively low fracture energy (i.e. the input energy required to propagate the crack) and small plastic deformation prior to and during crack extension. The second type of fracture falls into the general category of “ductile fracture” or high energy fracture++, and usually occurs in non-brittle materials under “plane stress” conditions. For example, thin-walled tubes and shell structures composed of materials with high ductility would be expected to undergo large plastic deformation prior to and during a rupture process.
