Abstract
The concept of debonding entropy provides insight into the physical mechanisms of fracture. It sheds light on how the fracture phenomenon is more intimately related to degradation and entropy. This paper aims to investigate the relationships between debonding entropy and fundamental concepts in fracture mechanics. A direct, simple relationship between debonding entropy and the J-integral value at fracture is developed and validated. The validation of this relation displays the connection between fracture mechanics and entropic degradation.
期刊介绍:
Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics'' aims & scopes have been re-designed to cover both the theoretical, applied, and numerical aspects associated with those cracking related phenomena taking place, at a micro-, meso-, and macroscopic level, in materials/components/structures of any kind.
The journal aims to cover the cracking/mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures in those situations involving both time-independent and time-dependent system of external forces/moments (such as, for instance, quasi-static, impulsive, impact, blasting, creep, contact, and fatigue loading). Since, under the above circumstances, the mechanical behaviour of cracked materials/components/structures is also affected by the environmental conditions, the journal would consider also those theoretical/experimental research works investigating the effect of external variables such as, for instance, the effect of corrosive environments as well as of high/low-temperature.
