This document discusses fracture mechanics and summarizes the differences between ductile and brittle fracture. It introduces Griffith's theory of brittle fracture and the strain energy model. It then describes the stages of ductile fracture including initiation, necking, formation and growth of microvoids, and crack propagation at a 45 degree angle. Key concepts discussed include stress intensity factor, energy of fracture, energy release rate, modes of cracking, and how crack speed relates to kinetic energy and resistance. The summary concludes by contrasting the key characteristics of ductile versus brittle fracture.

Brittle Materials Introduction What is fracture? Separation by applied stress
Two different types of fracture -Ductile -Brittle
Why study fracture mechanics? Reduction of risk Safety of public Reduction of cost Repairs, replacement
Griffith Theory of Brittle Fracture where U : the total potential energy of the system U0: the elastic energy of the uncracked plate. Ua: the decrease in the elastic energy caused by introducing the crack in the plate. Ug: the increase in the elastic-surface energy caused by the formation of the crack surfaces. Fig. 1 Fractograph of ductile cast iron showing a trans-granular fracture surface Fig. 2 Fractograph of an inter- granular fracture surface Strain Energy Model where E = modulus of elasticity gs= specific surface energy a = one half the length of an internal crack Model for calculation where G: the strain energy release rate. gp: plastic deformation energy associated with crack extension. gs: the specific surface energy Ductile Fracture Stages in ductile fracture Initiation Necking Microvoids form Microvoids enlarge to form crack Crack spreads laterally Rapid crack propagation with 45 degree angle Final shearing Fig. 4 Rough, irregular dimpled surface Fig. 5 Image depicts microvoids Stress intensity factor Magnitude of stress around crack tip where s = remote stress applied to component (not to be confused with the local stresses, sij a = crack length f (a/w) = correction factor that depends on specimen and crack geometry The energy of fracture where dt: the energy of fracture necessary for the formation of a new fracture surface area. G: the energy released into the crack tip per unit area of the crack (rate of elastic strain energy release). d: the crack growth increment. Energy release rate (plane Strain) where G: the energy release rate. n: Poisson's Ratio. K: the stress intensity factor. E: the modulus of elasticity. Energy release rate (plane Stress) G=K2/E
where G: the energy release rate. K: the stress intensity factor. E: the modulus of elasticity. Modes of cracking Fig. 7 Three modes of cracking. Final Equation after combination of energy release rate and mode of cracking Fig. 8 Cracked Body P: the potential energy of the external forces. F: the generalized force per unit thickness. D: the corresponding load-point displacement Crack Speed and Kinetic Energy where Ekin: the kinetic energy. G: the energy release rate. R: the force of crack resistance The assumptions taken for the model are: crack propagation takes place under constant stress the elastic energy release rate does not depend upon crack speed the crack growth resistance R is constant
Crack Growth using Energy Theories /Vs is defined in the graph to be growth rate of the average crack Summary Ductile Brittle deformation extensive little crack propagation slow, needs stress fast type of materials most metals (not too cold) ceramics, ice, cold metals warning permanent elongation none strain energy higher lower fractured surface rough smoother necking yes no
