In materials science, fracture toughness is the critical stress intensity factor of a sharp crack where propagation of the crack suddenly becomes rapid...

fracture toughness, which describes the capacity of materials to resist fracture. Toughness requires a balance of strength and ductility. Toughness is...

determination of quasi-static fracture toughness. ISO 12737: Metallic materials. Determination of plane-strain fracture toughness. ISO 178: Plastics—Determination...

provides standards for determining mode I fracture toughness G I C {\displaystyle G_{IC}} and mode II fracture toughness G I I C {\displaystyle G_{IIC}} of the...

crack due to the applied loading. Fast fracture will occur when the stress intensity exceeds the fracture toughness of the material. The prediction of crack...

conditions defined by fracture mechanics. Brittle fracture may be avoided by controlling three primary factors: material fracture toughness (Kc), nominal stress...

increased to 45 GPa by alloying with Boron rich Titanium Boride, Fracture toughness can be increased with TiB2 or by depositing a quasi-amorphous BAM...

reported that the high fracture toughness material improved clinical performance and reliability as compare to low fracture toughness. It can be measured...

elastic fracture mechanics, i.e., we can use a criterion such as J > JIc as a crack growth criterion. Fracture toughness Toughness Fracture mechanics...

Lu and Fleck produced criteria for thermal shock cracking based on fracture toughness controlled cracking. The models were based on thermal shock in ceramics...
