Paper Details

Fracture mechanics is the field of mechanics which is associated with the study of the propagation ofcracks in structural materials. It is the prime driving force on a crack-based studies in various types of materials. It isalso part of experimental solid mechanics which is intended to characterize the material's resistance during fracture. Itis the analysis of flaws and initial defects which liable to propagate as cracks during different types of loading thatcauses sudden or catastrophic failure of the flawed structure. Thus, fracture mechanics properties are foremost to knowto develop actual prototype which is sustainable, durable & long lasting. Fracture mechanics-based properties alwaysdiffer for various materials as well it also may exhibit changes with distinct geometrical properties. Nowadays manyfinite element methods based softwares are also available to examine and study fracture properties. This researchexhibits the analysis of different fracture properties such as stress intensity factor, J integral for materials which are ofimportance aspect in construction industry, steel industry, automotive field, aerospace and many more respectively. Herein this research fracture properties (i.e. stress intensity factor, J integral) for many materials such as aluminium, steel,concrete, glass and GFRP (Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer) with varying geometrical properties are evaluated with thehelp of CT specimen as per ASTM E-399 by finite element method-based software “Abaqus” as well as obtained resultsare validated by derived analytical results.
