Lamberson, Leslie, Pagano, Steven, Hogan, James
The rate-dependent compressive response and resulting fragmentation characteristics of dry ox cortical bone and cyanoacrylate-based cortical bone surrogate material was investigated in two material orientations. Tests were conducted under quasi-static (10−3 s−1) and dynamic (103 s−1) loading in...

Hybrid Finite-Discrete Element Modeling of the Mode I Tensile Response of an Alumina Ceramic
Download2023-03-13
Zheng, Jie, Li, Haoyang, Hogan, James D.
We have developed a three-dimensional hybrid finite-discrete element model to investigate the mode I tensile opening failure of alumina ceramic. This model implicitly considers the flaw system in the material and explicitly shows the macroscopic failure patterns. A single main crack perpendicular...

Fatigue assessments have been carried out predominantly with quasi-deterministic approaches, such as the use of S–N curves. However, both the loading and the resistance of fatigue prone components are subjected to significant uncertainties. Consequently, a prediction of the remaining fatigue life...
