Abstract
This study investigates the Mode II fracture properties in the RL and TL planes of parallel neosinocalamus affinis bamboo strand lumber. Eighty End-Notched Flexure (ENF) specimens were designed, varying pre-crack lengths and specimen widths. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) was employed to analyze strain variations during the development of the fracture process zone (FPZ) and crack propagation stages. The Compliance Based Beam Method (CBBM) and equivalent crack length calculations were used to determine the strain energy release rate (GIIC) of PNABSL. R curves and crack growth rate curves revealed that crack propagation in the RL and TL planes. The results indicated that Mode II fracture propagation in both the RL and TL planes of PNABSL predominantly exhibited self-similar cracking, though the fracture surfaces were rough and uneven, with noticeable fiber bridging. The study found that Mode II fracture propagation was less stable in the RL plane compared to the TL plane, which is attributed to the easier fracturing of thick-walled fiber cells in the RL plane. The critical strain energy release rate for PNABSL was determined, offering valuable insights into its fracture behavior.
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.
