Examination of flexural crack width prediction in concrete: comparison of analytical and numerical models
The reliability of crack prediction methods in concrete design plays a role in the degree of confidence with which durability can be ensured. Bond failure between concrete and the embedded reinforcing steel exposes the steel surface within a crack path. This relative slip results from differential …

Mathematical modeling of adhesive layer cracks utilizing integral equations
Within recent years, Crack analysis in adhesive layers has become a topic of interest for many researchers. A common model which is used incorporates a 3-region elasticity problem consisting of only 2 materials, the adhesive layer bounded by 2 layers of a stiffer elastic substrate. Cracks have been …

Effect of grain structure and doping on the mechanical properties of polysilicon thin films for MEMS
… the tensile strength and the local resistance to crack initiation in 1-μm thick polysilicon films, as quantified by the effective mode I critical stress intensity factor, KIC,eff. For the purposes of this study microscale polysilicon thin film specimens were fabricated by a custom process at the …

Three-dimensional numerical analysis of reflective cracks in airfield pavements
… strains in the vicinity of expansion joints and cracks in the PCC, thus dramatically reducing the life of the HMA overlay, typically in the form of reflective cracking. Reflective cracking is a fatigue cracking distress, which is initiated at the bottom of the HMA overlay and propagates through …
