Steady crack growth through ductile metals: Computational studies
This thesis examines the crack-front response during sustained ductile tearing in structural metals at quasi-static rates using high resolution finite element computations. At load levels approaching the steady-growth regime, well-established computational methods that model material damage break …

Piezo-induced fatigue of solder joints
… presented for the strain energy release rate for steady state crack growth. Experimental results and observations are presented for the damage processes in lead-tin eutectic solder joints between PZT-5H adherends. The lifetime of a specimen can be divided into two regimes: initiation and steady …
