Cohesive-zone models and singularities at corners and cracks in homogeneous materials
Thouless, M. D.; Goutianos, Stergios (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The stress singularities at corners in elastic bodies are not strong enough to provide a driving force for fracture, except in the limit of a crack. Here, we re-examine these elastic stresses from the perspective of ... -
Mixed-mode cohesive laws and the use of linear-elastic fracture mechanics
Goutianos, Stergios; Sørensen, B. F.; Thouless, M. D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Small-scale cohesive-zone models based on potential functions are expected to be consistent with the important features of linear-elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). These include an inverse-square-root -field ahead of a ...
