In the previous paper (Kobayashi, 2017), the new crack opening criterion deduced by a micro-crack evolution equation was proposed and verified by examination of the fracture mechanisms of metallic and ceramic materials using those well-known data, i.e., fracture toughness and so forth, based on the stresses, strains and strain gradients substituted by the stress intensity factor (SIF).
Threshold cycle (C T ) and baseline were automatically determined by the software and verified by visual examination of the threshold line in amplification plots.
