propagation of existing defects • Calculate safe life for structures containing
defects

Theory
5
• Early work – single parameter to describe crack tip stress/strain – K for linear elastic fracture mechanics – J for elastic-plastic fracture mechanics
• Computational fracture mechanics – calculate crack tip stress/strain – Calculate single parameter for complex structures – Determine effect of finite length scales on crack tip
stress/strain

Modeling Methodologies
• Linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) – Elasticity dominates the solution – Singularity at crack tip defined by stress intensity
factor (K)
• Elastic plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM) – Ramberg-Osgood - – Small strain plasticity
• ε = 12𝛻𝛻𝐮𝐮 + (𝛻𝛻𝐮𝐮)𝐓𝐓
– Large strain plasticity • ε = 1/2 [𝛻𝛻𝐮𝐮 + (𝛻𝛻𝐮𝐮)𝐓𝐓+(𝛻𝛻𝐮𝐮)𝐓𝐓 𝛻𝛻𝐮𝐮]
