Birth and ascent of buoyant hydraulic fractures

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri

Hydraulic fracturing treatments are often used in petroleum and other industries to increase the permeability of rock formations and occur naturally as magmatic intrusions. The resulting fractures, propagating perpendicularly to the minimum in-situ stress ...

Crack tip kinematics reveal the process zone structure in brittle fracture

John Martin Kolinski, Chenzhuo Li, Xinyue Wei

When brittle hydrogels fail, several mechanisms conspire to alter the state of stress near the tip of a crack, and it is challenging to identify which mechanism is dominant. In the fracture of brittle solids, a sufficient far-field stress results in the co ...

Proposed residual stress model for hot‐rolled wide flange steel cross sections

Dimitrios Lignos, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa, Andronikos Skiadopoulos

Residual stresses in hot-rolled wide flange steel cross sections may lead to premature yielding, accelerated corrosion and brittle fracture of steel members. The above phenomena lead to a loss of a steel member's stiffness and resistance under mechanical l ...

Onset of sliding across scales: How the contact topography impacts frictional strength

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei, Fabian Barras

When two solids start rubbing together, frictional sliding initiates in the wake of slip fronts propagating along their surfaces in contact. This macroscopic rupture dynamics can be successfully mapped on the elastodynamics of a moving shear crack. However ...

Dynamic crack propagation with phase-field approach

Shad Ali Durussel

This project aims at studying the non-unicity of crack paths in materials using the phase-field approach. The energy functional to be minimized in the variational phase-field modelling of brittle fracture is not convex. Hence, multiple local minima can coe ...

Sub-trabecular strain evolution in human trabecular bone

Goran Lovric, Alessandra Patera

To comprehend the most detrimental characteristics behind bone fractures, it is key to understand the material and tissue level strain limits and their relation to failure sites. The aim of this study was to investigate the three-dimensional strain distrib ...

Two-dimensional crack growth in FRP laminates and sandwich panels

Aida Cameselle Molares

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are currently being selected for the design of lightweight and efficient structural members in a wide number of engineering applications. Sandwich panels with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) face she ...

Impact of the anisotropy of fracture toughness on the propagation of planar 3D hydraulic fracture

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia, Weihan Zhang

Sedimentary rocks often exhibit a transverse isotropy due to fine scale layering. We investigate the effect of the anisotropy of fracture toughness on the propagation of a planar 3D hydraulic fracture perpendicular to the isotropy plane: a configuration co ...

Fatigue as the missing link between bone fragility and fracture

Dominique Pioletti, Vincent Stadelmann, Claire Acevedo

The prevention of fragility fractures in bone—pathologic fractures resulting from daily activity and mostly occurring in the elderly population—has been a long-term clinical quest. Recent research indicating that falls in the elderly might be the conse- qu ...

Investigations and numerical modeling of mechanical properties of tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 at various loading rates, temperatures and after spallation irradiation

Serafin Knitel

The reduced activation tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 is a reference steel for a structural applica-tions in fusion reactors. The first-wall and blanket materials will be subjected to high thermal and neutron fluxes and will experience very complex, ...
