The experiments for rock entail subjecting granite beams to a constant loading under three point bending and monitoring the time-dependent failure. For bone, human cadaver skulls are loaded under pinning loads similar to those used for immobilization of the head for neurosurgical procedures. AE rates are shown to be consistent with a rate dependent material failure law including a quasi-linear cascade of the inverse AE energy rate in the lead up to failure that is shown here to arise because of a coupling wherein a response rate is a power law of a driver and the driver is, in turn, a power law of the accumulated response. For both materials and experimental configurations this cascade provides warning of impending failure. For granite beams there is accurate prediction of failure time over the final 30% of the specimens’ lifetimes, which ranged from 35 s to two days. For skull fracture, the commencement of the failure cascade provides 30–70 s for warning of failure, which would be sufficient for basic remedial action to avoid patient injury in a surgical application.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11576,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Fracture Mechanics","volume":"337 ","pages":"Article 111991"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147387386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systematic investigations evaluated the effect of initial crack depth on single-sided surface cracks propagation, influences of structural configurations and loading conditions on fatigue growth and associated delamination, and propagation differences between single-sided surface and through cracks. Our findings reveal four key insights: initial crack depth dictates the onset of single-sided surface cracks propagation but not subsequent growth kinetics; their fatigue growth rate trends are fundamentally distinct from through cracks; single-sided surface cracks growth rates exhibit lower sensitivity to stress ratio variations; and increasing the laminate count yields less significant improvement in fatigue resistance for single-sided surface cracks.
