Fracture toughness and the in-plane and out-of-plane constraint effects are studied through
experiments and computations for high-strength carbon steel 34ХН3МА. The subjects for the …

Crack tip plasticity and fracture toughness are usually connected with T-stresses under
mixed mode I/II loading conditions. By means of von Mises yield criterion, a new analytical …

For the past several decades, fracture mechanics concept and theories have been
successfully developed and advanced in the engineering field as here we celebrate 50th …

In this paper, the specimens with different geometries and loading configurations were used
to study the unified correlation of in‐plane and out‐of‐plane constraints with fracture …

In this work, the fracture prediction method based on two-parameter JA d*(J-integral and a
new load-independent unified constraint parameter A d*) with considering both in-plane and …

The ductile fracture of the clinched joint is studied by the experiments and simulations using
a modified Rousselier model. Although tension failure has been successfully predicted by …

In this study, the fracture resistance of a dissimilar metal welded joint was measured by
single edge-notched bend specimens with different in-plane and out-of-plane constraints …

The paper presents theoretical and numerical aspects of the two-parameter JA approach in
elastic-plastic fracture mechanics in connection with crack-tip constraint. This approach is …

Abstract Effects of plastic constraint on the fracture of materials have been studied
extensively. Often in such studies, the plastic constraint is divided into in-plane and out-of …

In structural integrity assessment, it is important to measure the in-plane and out-of-plane
constraint effects which have strong influences on fracture toughness. Based on the …
