Stresses in the vicinity of the crack tips are responsible for failure of crack-containing components. The singular stress contribution is characterised by the

In this book the authors describe methods for the calculation of weight functions. In the first part they discuss the accuracy and convergence behaviour of meth

Failure of cracked components is governed by the stresses in the vicinity of the crack tip. The singular stress contribution is characterised by the stress inte

Fracture mechanics is an indispensible tool in the design and safe operation of damage tolerant structures. One of the essential elements in fracture mechanics

Most ceramics show an increase of the crack growth resistance during crack propagation (R-curve behaviour). Reasons for such behaviour are bridging effects betw
