A probabilistic fracture mechanics model for the tubing degradation of the Koeberg steam generators
… with cracked tubes. Later, the development of probabilistic simulation methods, most notably by EdF and the Jozef Stefan Institute (JSI), have led to further justification of the existing maintenance regimes and also allowed the ability to do sensitivity studies with regards to various …

The strength of glulam beams with holes - A probabilistic fracture mechanics method and experimental tests
… for in all European timber engineering codes. A probabilistic fracture mechanics method for strength analysis is presented. The method is based on a combination of Weibull weakest link theory and the mean stress method which is a generalization of linear elastic fracture mechanics. Combining …

Benchmarking of the MIT High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor TRISO-coated particle fuel performance model
… particle failure mechanism, which applies probabilistic fracture mechanics. As part of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Coordinated Research Program (CRP) on coated particle fuel technology, a code benchmark has been developed by the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). The …

Fracture mechanics and its application in rock excavation
… notched specimen geometries for rock Mode I fracture toughness measurement, CB and SR, recommended by the ISRM have several disadvantages, such as very low loads required to initiate failure, complicated loading fixtures, difficult to be developed for rock mixed mode fracture testing, …
