The recently conceived gap test and its simulation revealed that the fracture energy Gf (or Kc, Jcr) of concrete, plastic-hardening metals, composites, and probably most materials can …
A recent comparative study revealed that the commonly offered experimental validations of peridynamics and phase-field fracture models have been insufficient because they involved …

Numerical fatigue process modelling is complex and still an open task. Discontinuity caused by fatigue cracks requires special finite element techniques based on additional parameters …
Modern railway systems are a beneficial way of transport. However, the operation requires maintenance to compensate for rail degradations. Key issues of degradation regard severe …
The goal of this thesis is to develop an experimental setup to evaluate and analyze the effect of crack-parallel stress on the fracture response of materials. In standard fracture test …
