3D Plasticity induced crack closure<br />

Objective<br />

Overview<br />

Crack<br />

Minimztn.<br />

Energy<br />

Absrptin.<br />

• Plasticity induced crack closure is<br />

another way of stating the effect of<br />

plastic deformation around the crack tip.<br />

• Very tough materials exhibit an<br />

interesting behavior in Charpy impacts.<br />

For high ductilities, the specimen can<br />

deform without fully breaking, with<br />

consequent enormous energies<br />

absorbed.
