Ceramic based thermal barrier coatings are extensively employed to shield critical
engineering components from harsh temperature environments, where the typical Fourier's …

Multiple cracks subsist in functionally graded materials (FGMs) components. These cracks
interact with each other and induce fracture phenomenon. The thermo-mechanical loading …

In this study, the linear elastic fracture mechanics theory is employed to calculate the
dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs) of multiple cracks which are located at the interface …

In the present paper, the behavior of an interface crack in two bonded dissimilar materials
subjected to in-plane loading is studied. First, dislocation solution is presented to construct …

The mixed mode fracture behavior of a functionally graded orthotropic strip based on the
distribution of dislocations is studied. Fourier transform is employed to construct a system of …

In this paper, the mixed mode fracture problem of multiple parallel cracks in an orthotropic
functionally graded plane under transient dynamic loading is studied. The medium contains …

In this paper, modes I and II stress intensity factors for the multiple curved cracks in a
nonhomogeneous plane base on the dislocation technique are formulated. It is assumed …

In this paper, the transient dynamic stress intensity factors are estimated for multiple cracks
which are located at the interface between a nonhomogeneous elastic half-plane and an …

This article focuses on the problem of multiple crack damage in brake discs. Using the
extended finite element analysis method, the interaction mechanism between radially …

The fracture behavior of a cracked functionally graded piezoelectric plane was investigated
under in-plane mechanical and electrical loading. The electro-elastic properties of the plane …
