Dynamic fracture analysis for the crack arrest phenomenon is performed by ordinary state-
based peridynamics formulation and discretization employing transition bond concept …

This study investigates the contribution of grain size to cleavage crack propagation
resistance in ferritic steels. A series of crack arrest tests were conducted using three kinds of …

Unlike numerous studies focused on the crack initiation occurred in steel materials, the
influence of effective grain size on crack propagation resistance does not receive enough …

A formulation to simulate brittle crack propagation/arrest behavior in steel plates is proposed
based on the local fracture criterion. The crack behavior is simulated within a short time by …

Developing a numerical method to accurately simulate the brittle crack propagation
phenomenon is crucial for ensuring the safety of large-scale steel structures. Although …

A new scaled-down dovetail crack arrest (DCA) specimen (thickness= 20 mm, width= 200
mm) with a temperature gradient along the crack propagation direction was designed to …

Micro-alloyed low carbon MnCrNiCuMo steels were proposed to produce heavy plates with
a maximum thickness of 100 mm. An integrated industrial route including a thermo …

The objective of this research is to evaluate local tensile stresses in the vicinity of a
propagating cleavage crack tip based on a combination of experiments and finite element …

Plate structures serve as the fundamental components of many large structures; therefore,
dynamic crack propagation in plates is a significant safety concern. This paper proposes a …

The first 3D model to simulate cleavage crack propagation in a body center cubic (BCC)
polycrystalline solid is presented. The model was developed based on the extended finite …
