The Volume Strain Energy Density Factor Criterion for Sharp V-Notches under Mixed-Mode I and II

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a new energy approach based on the concept of a volume stain-energy-density factor useful to deal with the general problem of brittle fracture for sharp V-notches under mixed-mode I and II. The basic assumption is that the fracture occurs when the volume strain energy density factor arrive at its critical value in the direction of crack initiation where the deviator strain energy density factor is minimum. The method is validated taking into account experiment data already reported in the literature and the analytical predictions are in good agreement with experiment data. It indicates that the accuracy of the new approach is undoubtedly very satisfactory and can be applied in engineering.
