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 …

Combined with the fictitious crack model, the stress intensity factor (SIF)-based criteria are
widely adopted to determine the crack propagation of mixed mode I-II fracture in normal …

The eigenvalue approach is a recently developed compressor stability model used to predict
stall onset. In this model, the flow field from a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) …

This paper presents a reliability-based methodology for assessing fracture failures of steel
pipes with sharp corrosion pits. Based on newly developed models of elastic fracture …

Linear elastic fracture mechanics has been widely used for fracture analysis of cracked
metals. For ductile materials, it is known that the yielding of a crack front results in the easing …

Surface cracks with different orientations have been recognized as a major cause of
potential failures of thin metal structures, which are often under biaxial loading. It has been …

In this paper, the mechanical properties of the material that define its mechanical behavior
are experimentally investigated. All performed experimental tests and analyzes are related …

The previous research review of piping systems revealed that the plastic pipe companies
suffered from many problems in natural gas pipeline systems. One of the most significant …

Synthetic fibers are used for critical performance applications of marine rope and cable
industries, apart from military applications. The high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion …

The optimization of black-box models is a challenging task owing to the lack of analytic
gradient information and structural information about the underlying function, and also due …
