Reference loads for plates with semi-elliptical surface cracks subjected to tension and bending for application within R6 type flaw assessment

Fracture mechanics based assessment of the fatigue strength: approach for the determination of the initial crack size

“…has been modified by the expression with Δσ app being the cyclic applied stress and σ 0 being what the authors call a reference yield stress of the structure containing cracks. For a more detailed explanation of the σ 0 concept, the reader may refer to Zerbst et al and Madia et al Parametric solutions for σ 0 , based on finite‐element analyses for tension, bending, combined tension‐bending and biaxial tension loading are provided in Madia et al…”

Numerical and experimental investigation of mixed‐mode crack growth in aluminum alloys

“…However, fatigue crack propagation within the component will be subjected to different stresses based on the type of applied loading and the geometry of the component of interest so the width and height of the plate should be finite to consider the end effects. The plates with finite body sizes are widely used for fatigue surface crack growth studies under tension and bending loadings 25,34,35 …”

“…The geometry of surface‐crack tension (SCT) specimen (Figure 1B,C) was developed in this study on the basis of recommendations of previous research 33,34 . The thickness of specimen is equal to 10 mm, the width of specimens is equal to 40 mm, the length of specimens is equal to .…”

In situ monitoring the properties of 20 carbon steel and ductile iron under combined tension and three-point bending loadings

“…Lei and Budden [4] solved the global limit load solutions for plates with surface cracks under combined biaxial forces and cross-thickness bending. Zerbst et al [5] treated the reference loads for plates with semi-elliptical surface cracks subjected to tension and bending for application within R6 type flaw assessment. Wilding et al [6] introduced a planar compliant joints design in lamina emergent mechanisms under combined bending and axial loading conditions.…”
