Summary: This paper proposes a novel approach based on the physical meaning of the bond network to evaluate damage in Peridynamic simulations and identify crack initiation and propagation. The commonly used nodal damage value is questioned for neglecting the relevance of broken bonds to cracks. The proposed method is shown to be robust, effective, and provide a single outcome for Peridynamic simulations.

Summary: In this study, a novel micropolar peridynamic model is proposed to simulate the fracture behaviors of rock masses with arbitrary joints. The rock masses are discretized into material points linked through ordinary and joint bonds. Peridynamic parameters are introduced to ensure consistency with continuum mechanics. A stress-based failure criterion is proposed to describe dynamic fracture of jointed rocks. The model is verified using experimental observations and numerical examples demonstrate its accuracy in capturing wave transmission and crack development in rocks with different joint sets. The influence of joint geometry on failure characteristics is also investigated.

Summary: The fatigue crack behavior of asphalt binders is crucial for the fatigue performance of asphalt pavements. The study showed that SBS modified asphalt binder has better crack initiation resistance compared to unmodified asphalt binder. The relationship between crack density (phi) and dissipated pseudo strain energy (DPSE) is linear during the steady growth stage, indicating that an equal amount of increase in phi is caused by unit DPSE.

Summary: The relationship between velocity, acceleration, and dynamic fracture toughness during rapid crack propagation is investigated using a novel experiment setup. The dynamic stress intensity factor is studied using an experimental-numerical-analytical method, revealing its variation over time. Furthermore, acceleration is used to analyze the unsteady crack propagation process.

Summary: In this paper, a domain decomposition based preconditioning method is proposed to accelerate the Krylov subspace method for solving linear systems arising from the extended finite element discretization of dynamic crack problems. The method partitions the finite element mesh into regular subdomains and crack tip subdomains, and constructs an additive Schwarz preconditioner by solving submatrices in the crack tip subdomains exactly and in the regular subdomains inexactly. The method also updates the subdomain problems as the crack propagates and uses an auxiliary subproblem for a better initial guess.

Summary: This study experimentally found extreme impact brittleness in FeCo21.5Cr0.2Ni0.8 alloy quenched from slightly above the order-disorder transition temperature at 500 degrees C. The impact brittleness was attributed to fast crack growth and poor local plasticity. Short-range ordered (SRO) structures were observed in the sample, and their formation was found to contribute to the impact brittleness. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that SROs inhibited deformation plasticity near crack tips by suppressing dislocation proliferation, dislocation slip, and twinning. The study provides insights into the SRO-induced impact brittleness and its embrittlement mechanism, which can be valuable for material design under impact loading.

Summary: A two-dimensional peridynamic contact model is proposed to simulate the propagation of frictional crack, contact constraint can be implemented without additional algorithm, and the geometry of the crack can be easily described. The contact force is only related to the stretch of the virtual bond between disconnected material points.

Summary: The proposed plane stress model of bond-based Cosserat peridynamics includes the implementation of constitutive equations for Cosserat continuum and considers couple stress in material point interaction. The model can degenerate into other peridynamic models under certain conditions and has an influence on crack propagation.

Summary: Many advanced methods have been developed for predicting discrete fracture within the finite element framework, with the goal of enhancing the continuous displacement field with a discontinuous part. These methods provide unprecedented versatility in discretising domains with prescribed and evolving boundaries, but can incur additional computational burden with global tracking schemes. A new method, the Cracked Zone Clustering Method (CZCM), is proposed to address these issues by introducing minimal enhanced degrees of freedom and decoupling the discretisation of bulk and cracks. Results show that CZCM can significantly reduce the required number of enhancement degrees of freedom while maintaining accuracy.

Summary: This paper studies the influence of layer structures on the crack propagation behavior of shale. Experimental tests and quantitative analysis reveal a linear relationship between the energy release rate and crack propagation rate. The results also indicate that symmetric loading does not result in significant angle localization during crack propagation, suggesting that crack propagation behavior in shale is influenced by the interplay between energy release rates and fracture resistance.

Summary: This study comparatively investigated the crack initiation and propagation behavior of Ti-55531 alloy with lamellar and bimodal microstructures under low cycle fatigue. Results showed that the two microstructures exhibited significant differences in cyclic deformation and fatigue behavior due to their different sensitivities to cyclic strain. Additionally, stacking faults were identified as another important mechanism for crack nucleation at the alpha(s)/beta interface of Ti alloys.

Summary: The isogeometric boundary element method is developed to simulate crack propagation and inclusion-crack interaction, with a focus on the influence of shape, stiffness, size, and position of inclusions on stress intensity factors along the crack front. NURBS basis functions accurately describe geometric shapes and approximate displacement, traction, and discontinuous displacement fields. Validation shows accurate SIF calculations using a single point formula, stable crack propagation, and smooth path.
