Energy Dissipation during Quasi-Brittle Fracture Associated with the Crack and the Fracture Process Zone Progression

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents an analysis with an attempt to capture the phenomenon of quasi-brittle fracture based on the record of the fracture test on a notched specimen via separation the energy amounts released for the crack advance and dissipated within the volume of the sizeable nonlinear zone at the crack tip – the fracture process zone (FPZ). The described approach is tested on selected data of published experimental campaigns accompanied with own conducted numerical simulations.
