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…

Quantitative prediction of effective toughness at random heterogeneous interfaces

The propagation of an adhesive crack through an anisotropic heterogeneous interface is considered. Tuning the local toughness distribution function and spatial correlation is numerically shown to induce a transition between weak to strong pinning…
