On the introduction of a mean stress in kinetic damage evolution laws for fatigue

An evolutive mean value of z is defined for complex loadings. It is shown to be independent from the loading shape and it tends toward the classical mean value zmean for a periodic loading. The proposed definition applies to quantities encountered…

Stress triaxiality and Lode angle along surfaces of elastoplastic structures

Expressions for the stress triaxiality and the Lode angle along surfaces of elastoplastic structures are established in case of monotonic loading. The stress triaxiality is shown to be governed by the accumu- lated plastic strain when traction free…

Evaluating Damage with Digital Image Correlation: C. Applications to Composite Materials

The present chapter is devoted to the evaluation of damage with digital image correlation (DIC). Applications will focus on composite materials. The latter ones are designed to accommodate microcracks through suited microstructures. As such, they…

Experimental evaluation of the fracture toughness on a limestone

Linear Fracture mechanics defines the fracture toughness as an intrinsic material parameter describing the ability of the material to resist to crack propagation. To investigate the effect of the testing method and of the geometry of the samples on…
