Probabilistic prediction of mixed mode fracture initiation and trajectory under random stresses Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Methods are developed for estimating crack trajectory and the probability of crack initiation in mixed mode fracture. The analysis is based on a computer program for deterministic fracture mechanics analysis (FRANC) and modern methods of structural reliability.
