Applicability of the Critical Energy Release Rate for Predicting the Growth of a Crack in Nanoscale Materials Applying the Strain Gradient Elasticity Theory

Abstract:

The paper investigates the limits of applicability of the critical energy release rate for predicting the growth of a crack in nanoscale materials applying the strain gradient elasticity theory (SGET) capable to capture size effects, nonlocal material point interactions and surface effects in the form of (phenomenological) higher-order stress/strain gradients.
