Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Timber Structures and Wood Technology Date 2011-04-28 Abstract This chapter discusses the theory of fracture mechanics based on the flat elliptical crack; the derivation of the mixed "mode I - II" - interaction equation, with the relations between the mode I and mode II stress intensities and energy release rates, based on an orthotropic-isotropic transformation of the Airy stress function; the derivation of the softening curve with the explanation of the measurements; the derivation of the power law; the energy method of notched beams and of joints loaded perpendicular to the grain; and the necessary rejection of the applied crack growth models and fictitious crack models Subject OA-Fund TU Delft To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:c358c0a0-9f42-458e-8155-eed9d81a2de8 Publisher NOVA publishers ISBN 9781617619847 Source Advances in Mechanical Engineering Research, 2, pp 1-57 Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type book chapter Rights (c) 2011 Van der Put, T.A.C.M.Nova Science Publishers Files PDF VanderPut1.pdf 1.47 MB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:c358c0a0-9f42-458e-8155-eed9d81a2de8/datastream/OBJ/view
