Sentence examples for tip driving from inspiring English sources

Fatigue is considered as a two load parameter problem involving two crack tip driving forces.

These effects are due to a second crack tip driving force, Kmax.

It is well established that there are two fatigue crack tip driving forces – the cyclic, ΔK, and the static, Kmax.

In this study, the effects of each crack tip driving force on crack growth were evaluated for various structural materials.

To aid the material-process design, two crack tip driving force parameter maps that relate loading conditions to damage at the microstructure scale were also established.

Each of these types shows the combination of time and stress affecting the crack tip driving force, and thus ΔK and Kmax.

Fatigue crack growth is represented using the Unified Approach in terms of two crack-tip driving forces, ΔK and Kmax.

This defect tolerant approach correlates local crack-tip driving force conditions of an initial small crack with an experimental long crack growth rate curve, using crack closure.

Using extensive data from the literature, it is shown that it is the decreasing crack-tip driving force with length that causes the crack arrest phenomenon.

Without proper understanding and quantification of these mechanisms as function of crack-tip driving forces, any life-prediction methodology can only be empirical at best.

As the crack lengthens, the crack-tip driving force, the stress intensity factor, should increase for a constant remote applied stress, yet, arrest occurs.
