An energy balance approach for crack arrest

Objetivo

A new energy balance approach has been developed for predicting crack arrest conditions that offer unprecedented accuracy and relative simplicity in comparison with previous methods. A major effect of the theory is that crack arrest cannot be predicted from the applied stress alone because the compliance or the length of the structure is involved. At present, the otherwise intractable behaviour of two steels has been successfully predicted. The objectives of the projects are: to confirm the viability of the approach for general structural applications; to provide a small scale test procedure to suit the requirements of the new approach; to provide initial guidelines on design and material property requirements to ensure structural safety.
