  • A constraint based statistical approach to failure from complex defects
    Bezenšek, Boštjan ; Hancock, J.W.
    Structural failure from complex defects is examined by including the constraint effects within a statistical weakest link analysis. The method allows the failure probabilities of arbitrary geometries ... to be compared and identifies the most likely failure initiation site for a complex defect. The analysis can be generalised to problems in which toughness varies with the spatial position of the crack front, as in the case of a crack located in a temperature gradient or subject to embrittlement.
