Crack propagation in isotropic materials
… of the crack path using dV/da energy criterion is shown and the results are verified by experiments using the brittle lacquer technique.<br/><br/>Possible future work is discussed in the last chapter.<br/>

Critical thickness in silicone thermosets
… of the polymer. The first model is based on an energy criterion according to which crack initiation does not take place if the crack driving force is less than the crack resistance. Such a condition for a brittle polymer is achieved at the critical thickness. The second model is based on a …

Interfacial Mechanics in Fiber-Reinforced Composites: Mechanics of Single and Multiple Cracks in CMCs
… and crack penetration into the fibers. A criterion based on strain energy release rates is developed to determine the crack propagation at the interface. The Axisymmetric Damage Model (ADM), a newly-developed numerical technique, is used to obtain the strain energy in the cracked …
